As our world becomes evermore hyper-connected, it is hard to conceive that there are countries where the worldwide web is nothing but a dream. Welcome to Cuba, home of the five decade old Castro dictatorship and one of the world’s few remaining reminders of the Cold War.

Cuban journalist and thought leader Yoani Sanchez will participate in this unique session that explores how Latino entrepreneurs and Cubans are making modern connectivity possible.
