Bogotá – AI Day 2025 – “Deliver Meaningful Impact,” Blend’s flagship event in Latin America, marked a defining moment in the region’s AI journey. Held at the Ágora Bogotá Convention Center, the event brought together over 1,200 participants, including public and private sector leaders, global tech experts, and emerging AI talent, to explore the strategies and real-world solutions shaping the future of artificial intelligence.
The day was officially opened by the Designated High Counselor to the President of Colombia, whose inspiring keynote addressed the nation’s digital vision and the transformative role of AI in creating more inclusive, efficient, and future-ready institutions.
Centered around the launch of Blend’s strategic framework, The Critical 7: Proven Strategies for Scaling AI, the event featured thought-provoking keynotes, dynamic panel discussions, and live demonstrations. These focused on the most pressing barriers to enterprise AI adoption—including talent, trust, infrastructure, change management, and data maturity.
From the U.S., Oz Dogan, President of the Americas for Blend, took the stage to highlight how global organizations are aligning AI with business impact. His keynote, “AI with Purpose: Creating Meaningful Impact,” set the tone for a day focused not on hype—but on outcomes.
Joining him was Mauricio Consulo, Global Head of Technology at AWS, from Brazil to deliver a powerful session on agile leadership in the age of AI, emphasizing the importance of cloud-native innovation and cultural adaptability in digital transformation.
The event drew a high-level audience representing Colombia’s justice, defense, education, health, and financial services sectors, alongside decision-makers from oil & gas, telecommunications, media, and technology. Key strategic partners such as AWS and TD SYNNEX played a prominent role in the program and partner showcase.
But AI Day wasn’t just about technology—it was about people. In line with Blend’s commitment to creating 1,000 jobs in Colombia by 2027, the event featured an interactive AI bootcamp challenge for emerging talent. The winners of this final round were inducted into the first All Stars cohort of Blend in Colombia—young professionals ready to help drive real impact through applied AI.
As part of our growing investment in Latin America, Blend’s recent acquisition of Nuvu—a Colombia-based leader in digital innovation—strengthens our ability to scale AI solutions across the region. Nuvu’s deep local expertise and agile delivery capabilities enhance our on-the-ground presence and reinforce our mission to drive impact through people and technology. This strategic move accelerates our ability to meet rising demand across key industries and positions Blend as a central player in Latin America’s AI transformation.
From strategic discussions and real-world use cases to high-energy networking and talent acceleration, AI Day 2025 successfully demonstrated what it means to scale AI with purpose—in Colombia and beyond.
