This is how we do business in Latin America, it’s all about building relationships that make sense for our business and our most important for our clients.” Said Patricia Sahin, Founder and Managing Partner at LatinPlus DMC Group.

“Patricia Sahin and I both share the same passion for the meeting and events industry. We realized during the industry turndown of 2020/21 that we were busier than ever keeping our respective businesses alive. We both embraced new technologies, elevated our respective brands, and grew our partnerships.
