Presidents of the Americas
Throughout the year, Americas Society and Council of the Americas (AS/COA) hosts heads of state from the Western Hemisphere as part of our Presidents of the Americas series. The series includes private meetings exclusive to AS/COA members as well as public forums that convene business leaders and leading policymakers to discuss the political, economic, and investment outlooks of their countries.
In recent years, we have hosted presidents from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Panama, Peru, and Uruguay, among others.
