Brazil to host leading Latin American social and environmental impact conference
Impact Minds 2026 will be held in Manaus, Brazil from September 9 to 11, under this year’s concept, ‘Connecting Us.’ The conference is a leading strategic space for social and environmental impact in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Now entering into Impact Minds’ fifth edition, the conference has established itself as a place for collaboration among impact investors, philanthropists, and foundations.
Impact Minds has already seen 2,427 participants and 1,326 organisations take part in previous years, with 800 C-level leaders and decision makers expected for its Manaus edition.
The event’s 2026 concept, ‘Connecting Us,’ aims to strengthen regional collaboration and reconnect Latin America with overlooked territories. Impact Minds is putting the Amazon at the center of these strategic decisions by holding the conference in Manaus over four days of workshops, sharing sessions, and panels with global leaders.
Impact Minds has championed regional collaboration, mobilising financial capital, and developing real solutions for change in Latin America since its inception in 2022, with previous editions of the conference being held in Cartagena, Rio de Janeiro, Oaxaca, and Medellín.
The conference will be organised by Latimpacto, a global network of capital providers committed to mobilising financial capital to drive social and environmental impact in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Maria Carolina Suárez Visbal, CEO of Latimpacto, commented, ‘Impact Minds is more than a conference. It is a platform where leaders shaping the future of capital and impact in Latin America come together to align, collaborate, and act. Bringing this conversation to the Amazon invites us to rethink development, connect with the region’s most urgent challenges, and build the alliances needed to drive lasting change.’
