    Panel I - AI AI AI: The Artificial Intelligence Imperative, with a Mexican Twist.

    Panel Discussion 

    Ay Ay Ay is a common expression in Mexican folklore that can denote excitement, anticipation, and concern, sometimes simultaneously. Coincidentally, these are some of the same feelings that Artificial Intelligence evokes.

    In this panel, hands-on experts will demystify artificial intelligence and share best practices adapted to the México-USA context to capitalize on the possibilities while acknowledging and proactively mitigating common roadblocks.

     

  9. 03:00 pm ACL Room 16th Floor

    Panel II - Pitfall Avoidance and Available Levers for Mexican-Led Startups in Texas.

    Panel Discussion

    The core value of a startup is defined by the joint quality of its big idea and the quality of the Founders.

    However, these conditions alone are insufficient to translate innovation into a strong operation, and more so for Mexicans trying to do business in the US.

    Legal hurdles, administrative burdens or poor navigation of the banking system are some common pitfalls that can stall, set back, or altogether kill the energy of Founders and the consolidation of the idea.

    In this forum, we’ll learn from the experience and scar tissue of Mexican entrepreneurs who have succeeded at doing business in the USA by intelligently utilizing the right resources over the right timeline, while proactively avoiding common oversights and wrong assumptions.

  10. 3:45 PM ACL Room 16th Floor
