Ministers, governors, executives, and economists gathered last August 26 for the seminar of the Council of the Americas. The event was organized by the Americas Society Council of the Americas and the Argentine Chamber of Commerce, with the support of Aeropuertos Argentina 2000, a member of the business group led by Eduardo Eurnekian.

The local elite and many major icons of the global economy participated in the session of the Council of Buenos Aires, thus turning it into a forum for serious top-level discussions. One of the panel members concluded his address with a phrase that could well describe the spirit that prevailed during the event: “One day, a group of men made the surprising decision of being reasonable,” Jorge Luis Borges.
During the seminar, the lecturers concurred that the international crisis has already reached the deepest bottom and that this new era in the economy is a new era for Argentina.

Former US President, Bill Clinton, arrived in Argentina, where he expounded upon Global Crisis and both countries –US and Argentina- challenges. Almost 1,000 people attended the conference that Clinton gave on behalf of the “Clinton Foundation”. Among the attendants, there were businessmen, Supreme Court members, politicians, diplomats, academicians, and high-level government employees.

But right before the conference, Clinton –who governed US between 1993 and 2001-, had lunch with a selected group of 20 businessmen with a strong presence from Argentina and Latin America.  He shared table with Julio, Gerardo and Adrian Werthein (event organizers and owners of the insurance company La Caja), Eduardo Eurnekian (Corporación América Director), Ernesto Gutierrez Conte (Corporacion America and Aeropuertos Argentina 2000 CEO), Enrique Eskenazi (Petersen Group President), Jorge Brito (Banco Macro and Adeba President), Hugo Sigman (Elea y Bagó laboratories owner) Eduardo Elztain (IRSA Group President), and Juan Carlos Lopez Mena (Buquebús owner).
