Registration is open for AI Week LATAM 2026, a free regional technology and education program taking place from Sept. 29 to Oct. 3 in Colombia, Mexico and Chile. More than 4,000 participants will be able to join practical sessions on physical AI, agentic AI and generative AI with access to 400 NVIDIA certification opportunities.
The regional expansion of the third iteration of AI Week comes as employers across Latin America report persistent gaps between the technology skills they need and those available in the labor market.
The challenge is increasingly pushing companies to invest directly in skills development. According to the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2025, 84% of employers in Latin America and the Caribbean plan to address skills gaps by upskilling their existing workforce, while 68% plan to hire people with new skills.
Across Latin America, demand for AI/ML, data, cloud, and DevOps skills continues to grow. But as an employer, we see that the real differentiator is the ability to turn knowledge into execution, implementing AI, designing cloud-native systems, and building production-ready data pipelines. Certifications are an important starting point: they validate knowledge, create a recognized benchmark, and help professionals make their skills more visible. But real capability is built through practice. AI Week LATAM is designed to connect both, bringing participants together with NVIDIA and SoftServe experts for hands-on learning, practical experience, and opportunities to strengthen and validate the skills the market increasingly demands,regional lead for LATAM at SoftServe.
