It’s finally here! Join us tomorrow! 

Over the years, we have witnessed so much change within the Haitian community. From 2017-2018 there was so much hope, fire, and energy amongst the new generation of Haitian Americans coming to Haiti to launch startups, build tech ecosystems and inspire new generation entrepreneurs. 

In 2019 we faced setbacks with Peyi Lock and still inspired hope and hosted the program. In 2020 we galvanised virtually with 20,000 delegates during the pandemic. In 2021, we tragically heard of the assassination of the late President Jovenel and brought the community together once again to rally forward. In 2022 we took it to the metaverse. In 2023 we embraced the new wave of immigrants fleeing the country in New York as the first Diaspora edition. 

As we look at 2024, we remind each and every one of you to still keep going! Stay connected with peers, family, and stakeholders in Haiti. 

We hope to really inspire you with this edition as both speakers and delegates share stories of how they are leaving a new legacy for the country. From training young people online in Haiti to sending food to gridlocked communities to staying in the country to build from within, we all have a journey to take and a way to contribute to Haiti’s future. 

Come be inspired and be reminded of the power of human resilience and determination. 

We can’t wait to see you!
