The Latin America 2020 seminar held in Santiago,
Chile, on 6-8 June, brought together 20 experts
from a broad array of disciplines, backgrounds,
and Latin American countries — including Chile,
Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Colombia, and Mexico.
Like the other NIC 2020 seminars, this one examined
a series of drivers of change, assessed the trends
within each driver, built a series of plausible
scenarios in the year 2020, and identified wild
cards that would lead to greater discontinuities
in the future.
