Our team has gathered the best photos from those moments here in one album on our Facebook page – take a look and recall the great memories!

When they flew to the Caribbean islands back in 2004, the founders of Columbus Communications had only a few million dollars in the bank. But in the world of telecoms (an industry renowned for mega-wealth, think Carlos Slim, and mega-losers like Bernie Ebbers), fortunes can be created in surprisingly short periods of time. Fast forward nearly eight years and Columbus is a carrier that is flying high across the Caribbean and now into Central America. Just about every telecom carrier in the region is a client and Columbus is now worth an estimated $2 billion.
New York, NY (PRWEB) March 07, 2013
For four years in a row, the U.S. has declined in global competitiveness rankings. The decline is part of a larger problem that many U.S. business leaders are increasingly worried about: If Washington can’t work out its problems how can I as a business leader find innovative human capital and technology solutions to make my business more competitive?
This is one of the central questions being addressed at the 2013 Nearshore Nexus executive conference, where business leaders come together to assess how to improve efficiency, accelerate technical innovation and gear their businesses to be globally ready. The Nexus conference is designed to generate business-specific knowledge and dialogue about the opportunities, risks and advantages of developing strategic relationship in Latin America and the Caribbean.

House Selection: The Five Best Coffee Varieties of Latin America
January 31st, 2013
By Marnely Rodriguez-Murray
For households in Latin America, nothing is more important than food rituals. Coffee is one of their favorite beverage and it wakes them up every morning. The region is home to a large number of coffee planters, and also roasters who reach the coffee to the doorstep of consumers around the world.
Most of North America sees coffee as an energy booster and a way to get in as much caffeine in as short of a time as possible. People rushing to their office holding a cup of coffee on one hand and the wheel of their car on the other is a common scene in the United States. But in Latin American countries, people don’t want to be disturbed while drinking coffee. Coffee accompanies their breakfast of fresh fruit, …
The Hopeless Case of the Capital of Honduras: Most of the Right Stuff Yet Ignored by Global BPO
December 17th, 2012
President Lobo wants more BPOs in the capital.
By Narayan Ammachchi
Despite having a large bilingual population and an increasingly stable government, Tegucigalpa – the capital of Honduras – does not have a single foreign BPO firm operating within city limits. What is wrong with “Tegus”, the city with a hilly terrain, arid climate and over one million inhabitants? Why is the global BPO community essentially shunning this city, which sits less than 1,000 miles south of Miami?
