This month—from March 9 to 12—Cartagena, Colombia (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), successfully brought together over 5,000 industry leaders for the 31st edition of this event.
More than just an event, Luz Marina Arango—the event’s creator and president—has transformed this gathering into the region’s premier technological laboratory, convening leaders, operators, ISPs, and telecommunications companies from across Latin America and around the globe.

After 31 years of existence, this year’s gathering was not merely a trade show; it served as a manifesto for an industry determined to take the lead in telecommunications, the transition toward Smart Cities, television broadcasting, and urban technologies throughout Latin America.
At the Convention Center of the Hotel Las Américas, over 5,000 industry leaders and more than 200 international exhibitors gathered to redefine connectivity—viewing it not merely as a service, but as the driving force behind equity and development in Latin America. From strategic debates at the FICA Forum to specialized technical sessions on XGS-PON and Cybersecurity, the experiences shared this year mark the dawn of a new era of digital sovereignty.

For Luz Marina Arango, the event’s enduring success and continued growth stem from a clear rationale. “The key has been to keep pace with the changes and evolving needs of the telecommunications market.” She adds, “Andina Link isn’t built over just four days of a trade show; it is built year-round—by listening to the market, creating opportunities, and strengthening relationships across all of Latin America.”

The expansion in floor space and corporate participation has firmly established the Hotel Las Américas as the strategic venue for the event. “Nowadays, it would be extremely difficult to host this expo at the Getsemaní Convention Center in Cartagena’s historic district. The sheer growth of the exhibition demands an infrastructure capable of supporting that evolution,” explains Arango. The priority, he asserts, is to sustain this expansion by offering exhibitors space and conditions commensurate with market developments.

The FICA Forum will maintain its focus on strategic themes and the current challenges facing the ICT sector, combining a long-term vision with the specific industry issues facing the region. We would like to highlight that TVMAS has served as a Media Partner for this major event for 26 years, providing both on-site presence and coverage of the proceedings.
