Garreth Bloor posed a similar question in a post, asking “Is Brazil the next ‘startup nation?”.
Bloor cites BBC’s technology corespondent Mark Gregory who points out that although not all citizens in Brazil have access to the Internet, those who do “spend an average of 70 hours a month online, which is more than anywhere else in the world.” Bloor believes that this results in a start-up culture, with opportunities for entrepreneurs.

One quick word of warning: The registration fee is not cheap (the ticket price is currently $2,295). In terms of price, I think the time you spend attending a conference far exceeds any registration fee. The conference is coming up (Oct 24-26) in Boston. 2) Do what you are naturally good at. 3) Be prepared for serendipity.
