When Bariloche seemed devastated by the ashes of the Puyehue volcano in 2011 and the Llao Llao hotel was closed, Eduardo Elsztain had the idea for its reopening to invite a group of entrepreneurs to talk and
establish bridges with the new guard
.
The owner of almost all the shopping malls, half of the Hipotecario, several emblematic buildings and thousands of hectares later joined GAM (Generation for a Better Argentina) which brought together the
children of the owners of several of the main companies, such as Karina Roman, the Otero Monsegur, the Eurnekian, the Bagó brothers or the Andreani sisters.
And so the Llao Llao Forum arose with an appointment in April in Bariloche and this time it has the visit of three presidents of the region who, according to one of the organizers,
“speak the same language, are young, highly trained professionals and have a vision.” pro business and pro markets”,
This time the organizing committee was made up of Elsztain and
Marcos Galperin took decisive weight, imposing strict conditions of confidentiality
to the point that attendees arrived blindly and found out about the agenda when they had already been accommodated in the emblematic hotel.
Thus it is said that the rule is Chatham House, a system of holding debates that emerged in the United Kingdom at the Royal Institute of International Affairs for frank dialogues without people being identified.
Galperin reserved himself for one of the dialogues that arouses the greatest interest. He himself will lead it as the main shareholder of Mercado Libre with banker Roberto Sallaoti from the Brazilian BTG Pactual in the form of
fireside chat, or a dialogue next to the fireplace inspired by the times of Franklin Delano Roosevelt,
the president of the United States whose speeches Evening radios in the dramatic times of World War II were listened to by Americans by the fireplace.
Curious. Roosevelt was the promoter of the New Deal, which transformed the economy with public policies to get out of the Great Depression. Could it be a message to President Milei?
Probably few think about that reference, in days where the situation is put aside to immerse themselves in conversations about what to do
when artificial intelligence knocks on the door
from the hand of scientist Daniel Rabinovich.
One of the organizers recalled that at the 2023 Forum they only talked about the dollar in the election year. “We are in a convulsed world, Argentina is a privileged area of what it
means to have the neighborhood in order and peace, and reserves of what the world needs,
food, energy and intelligence. We have to create the opportunity now, that is the meaning of this Forum," he explained.
