On September 26, the City Express by Marriott Hotel became the epicenter of technology, design, and web innovation in Nicaragua.
It was an intense day packed with learning, hugs, coffee, and, above all, that unique sense of community that makes all the hard work worthwhile. The feedback from attendees warmed our hearts: hearing that the event was «nítido» (spot-on and flawless) and that it exceeded all expectations confirms that every single second of effort was worth it.
From logistics and attendee care to the food and the visual theme inspired by our beloved Managua, we built an experience designed by and for the community.

Behind every smile and talk, there are numbers that reflect the massive reach of this edition:

- We welcomed attendees from 11 cities across Nicaragua and 5 countries total.
- +700,000 views and over 51,000 interactions recorded from launch day on June 5 through event day across our livestreams, social media, and website.
- 30 learning activities in total, combining pre-events and the main conference day.
- 20 sponsors (local and international) who believed in this project and made it possible.
Beyond the numbers, what truly warms our hearts is everything that happened afterward: that incredible wave of reels, vlogs, photos, and spontaneous posts overflowing across social media. That genuine response is proof of the love for this community and the best possible «thank you» to every volunteer, speaker, sponsor, and organizer who poured their all into this celebration.
