Global tendencies for capturing investments, the liquidity of paper in capital markets, corporate perspectives over the next few years, and the use of the newest tools and practices in the area of Investor Relations are some of the themes that promise to heat up the debate at the 7th National Meeting on Investor Relations and Capital Markets, scheduled for June 13 and 14 at the Gran Melia Mofarrej Hotel in São Paulo, Brazil.
The event, the largest of its kind in all of Latin America, will bring together more than 500 professionals from Brazil and abroad to discuss cases and analyses essential to the development of capital markets and professional enhancement in the area of Investor Relations.
Promoted jointly by the Associação Brasileira das Companhias Abertas (Brazilian Association of Publicly Held Corporations - ABRASCA) and the Instituto Brasileiro de Relações com Investidores (Brazilian Institute of Investor Relations - IBRI), the meeting will have as a principal focus mechanisms for generating liquidity in the stock market and the ever more sophisticated demands of investors.
Brazil's Minister of Development, Industry, and Foreign Commerce, Luiz Fernando Furlan, will attend the opening session, and the president of the Securities Commission (CMV) Marcelo Trindade will chair the closing session.
In addition to the themes that directly affect the day-to-day operations of professionals, companies and others in the Investor Relations market, the meeting will also be a forum for discussion about the perspectives of Brazilian capital markets and challenges for Brazil to reach Investment Grade (classification of the degree of investment risk).
Running parallel to the debates will be extensive exhibits and a service fair that will show attendees the latest in new offerings and products and services offered by suppliers to capital markets and Investor Relations.
The stands will show everything that publicly held companies, consultants, institutions, and others are producing to increase work efficiency in this market.
To support communications, the event will provide a complete pressroom to meet all the needs of specialized reporters and distribution of press releases on-line to media everywhere, nationally and abroad.

The small, coastal town of Condé is located just a twenty minute's drive from João Pessoa, the capital of Paraíba. The Northeast of Brazil has historically been a place of encounter and mixing between peoples. For millenia groups of indigenous people fished, farmed, migrated and sometimes fought along this large, fertile area. 
The Brazilian diplo-MÁ-cia (bad diplomacy) carries on its accelerated course towards the non-acknowledgment of human rights, although sometimes it takes pleasure in saying that it does precisely the opposite. The visit of Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is another example of a diplomatic omission that verges on hypocrisy. 
On July 4, 2006, representatives of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay met in Caracas to sign the protocol for the entrance of Venezuela into the Southern Common Market (Mercosur). After two and a half years, the protocol was approved by the legislative bodies of Argentina and Uruguay, and as of now it may be only days away from being ratified by the continent's economic megalith, Brazil. 
Some sectors of the fight against AIDS have suggested that Thabo Mbeki, the former president of South Africa, committed genocide through his absence from the fight against the illness in his country throughout his two terms. 
One hundred and eleven years after Brazil abolished slavery, the number of workers deprived of their freedom is still huge. They raise cattle, produce charcoal, sugar cane or timber. Some of them, most undocumented Bolivians, work in basements of small apparel factories in São Paulo and other metropolis. 
On November 7, 2009 a few friends and I had an opportunity to take a look inside a Brazilian jail outside the city of Rio de Janeiro. We were able to take some amateur footage of our experience on video (see link below). It's no surprise, of course, that the typical Brazilian jail lacks some of the functionality of those in North America or Europe, but our experience that day was quite shocking. 
Depletion of the Amazon Rainforest is not a new concern facing environmentalists, biologists, ecologists, and a growing number of the Amazonian indigenous peoples. For decades they have feared for the fate of the world's most biologically diverse and species-rich hothouse. 
Geisy Arruda made history this week in Brazil, but for all the wrong reasons. What began as a poorly planned fashion statement has become a worldwide tale. Geisy decided to wear a pink mini-dress to her private college in São Paulo state, and after that, all hell broke loose. 
The push of vigilante groups in Rio de Janeiro's favelas (shantytowns) in the last three years is the most important and alarming information of the just-released study by the Rio de Janeiro University's Violence Research Center (Nupev-Uerj). 
A dispute over drug trafficking territory in Rio de Janeiro has intensified lately, leaving in its wake unprecedented acts of violence, such as the downing of a police helicopter in the northern zone of the city on October 17. Three policemen died and another two were injured. This event has drawn the attention of the international media, who are raising the issue of public security for the 2016 Olympics to be held in Rio.
