Your Invitation

You are cordially invited to attend the IFSA Global Leadership Conference—Latin America & The Caribbean to be held in San Jose, Costa Rica on Saturday, February 24 – Monday, February 26, 2007. The theme for this industry-leading education and networking-focused conference in the region is “Capturing Today’s Possibilities – Developing Tomorrow’s Excellence.”

The constant change of the industry, including the unprecedented growth in the Latin American and Caribbean region, presents many opportunities. Attend this conference to share your experiences with colleagues as you investigate what this region has to offer. Informative educational sessions, with leading industry participants, form the foundation of this conference and all attendees will have the opportunity to take part in industry-relevant and timely information.

The host city, San Jose, is an extraordinary and varied locale and is considered one of the most welcoming cities in the world! The Capital city, San Jose, lies in the heart of Costa Rica, the Central Valley, which boasts a nearly perfect climate, excellent museums, drive-up volcanoes and fertile hillsides dotted with coffee plantations. Within this fertile temperate valley live most of the country's people. San Jose is located at an altitude of 2,900' feet above sea level, giving it an idyllic climate with temperatures that vary from the mid-70's Fahrenheit during the day to about 60 degrees Fahrenheit at night.

On Sunday, February 25, attendees will have the opportunity to visit the lovely and historic Pueblo Antiguo. Join us as we learn how Costa Rica’s rich history and culture played an important role in developing the Costa Rica we know today. Costa Rica's history is one of triumph of peace over hostility, thus the tranquil laid back atmosphere in this country. Studies done in Costa Rica confirm that civilizations had settled in the region 10,000 years ago, well before the arrival of Spanish conquistadors. 

Today’s Costa Rica is a peace-loving country, with no army, and boasts one of the highest literacy rates in the world. Because of such a reputation, many international companies such as Intel have set up headquarters there.
