MGI Latin America's Spanish language virtual BITCOIN conference gathers almost 2000 participants from across the region and beyond!
After El Salvador's recent move to accept bitcoin as legal currency, MGI Worldwide firms from Guatemala (MGI Chile Monroy), El Salvador (MGI Avelar y Asociados) and Dominican Republic (MGI LT Accountant), quickly joined forces to offer a virtual conference to explain this new development and its implications.
The conference, aimed at clients, professionals and the business community in general, took place on June 25, and following promotion on TV, press & radio, attracted almost 2000 participants mainly from Latin America, but also from Europe and the United States!
Speakers from across Central America
Regional Director for Latin America, Andrea Pallas opened and closed the event which featured presentations from: Oscar Antonio Chile Villalta, from MGI Chile Monroy y Asociados in Guatemala, who explained what cryptocurrencies and bitcoin are. He was followed by José David Avelar, from MGI Avelar & Asociados in El Salvador, who talked about Bitcoin Law. Ricardo Ruiz, from MGI LT Accountant in the Dominican Republic, spoke about the treatment of International Financial Reporting Standards for cryptocurrencies. The conference was rounded up by Oscar Chile Monroy from MGI Chile Monroy y Asociados, who discussed the legal, fiscal and accounting implications of the law in question.
Positive feedback
This event has shown how member firms are able to successfully connect and collaborate in the most varied of ways.
"This Bitcoin law has been passed in El Salvador and is applicable in this country, however, it will have repercussions on the businesses of customers and suppliers around the world. For this reason, the firms of the MGI Worldwide network decided to focus the conference on the implications of bitcoin in business." |
