Worldies Summit 2024: Connecting Talent, Building Relationships, and Celebrating Success
Last weekend, Buenos Aires, Argentina, became the epicenter of a global gathering like no other: the first-ever Worldies Summit. Held in the stunning Palacio Sans Souci, the event brought together over 200 professionals from around the world, uniting diverse talent and expertise under one roof. For many, it was a moment to step out of the virtual world and into reality, fostering connections that will undoubtedly shape the future of architectural, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries.
While Worldies Summit offered a range of professional development opportunities and insights, its true value lay in the unique experiences and relationships built during the event. As Camila Brugger, Founder and CEO of WorldTeams, shared in her opening remarks, the Summit was a culmination of years of hard work and dedication to bridging the gap between top talent in Latin America and clients across the USA and Canada. But beyond the business agenda, the event also served as a celebration of human connection, creativity, and growth.
A Unique Venue for a Unique Event
The Palacio Sans Souci, known for its breathtaking architecture and historical charm, provided the perfect backdrop for this milestone event. From the moment attendees arrived, there was a palpable sense of excitement in the air. For many, it was the first time they had the opportunity to meet colleagues and collaborators they had only known through screens.
As one of the attendees put it:
“It wasn’t just the dancing or the beautiful venue; it was about meeting people I’ve worked with every day but had never met in person. It felt like a scene from a movie, stepping into a room full of familiar strangers who suddenly became friends.”

The majestic setting of Palacio Sans Souci added to the grandeur of the occasion, but it was the people who truly made it special. Attendees participated in team-building activities, brainstorming sessions, and immersive workshops, learning new skills and techniques that would help them apply key concepts to their professional lives.
Connecting Clients with the Right Talent
At the heart of the Worldies Summit was the opportunity to strengthen relationships between professionals who bring our client’s projects to life. For WorldTeams, it’s about more than just finding the right match; it’s about understanding the unique personalities, skills, and perspectives of each team member.
Meeting face-to-face allowed us to gain a deeper understanding of the professionals we collaborate with. One team member articipant described the experience as eye-opening:
“Meeting these talented individuals in person gave me a new level of insight into their personalities and how they align with our clients’ needs. It’s one thing to see their skills on paper, but another to understand the human side of what makes them so effective. It allows me to tailor my recommendations with even greater confidence.”

This personal connection not only strengthens relationships but ensures that WorldTeams can continue delivering the best results for their clients, matching talent with the specific needs of each project.
Building a Community Beyond Business
One of the most memorable aspects of the Summit was the sense of community that it fostered. In a world where remote work has become the norm, the chance to connect in person was a rare and valuable experience. The Worldies Summit reminded everyone that behind the professional skills and job titles are people who share common values, interests, and dreams.
During the event, attendees shared stories, laughed, danced, and celebrated their achievements together. The highlight for many came during the black-and-white gala, where everyone donned their finest attire for a night of celebration. The dancefloor was filled with laughter, music, and even spontaneous dance-offs, as colleagues let loose and enjoyed the moment. One attendee said:
“I danced my heart out, not just with friends but with people I had never met before. There’s something special about moments like this that remind you that we’re not just colleagues; we’re a community of people who know how to work hard and have fun together.”

WorldTeams: Bridging Global Talent and Opportunities
WorldTeams has always been committed to connecting talented professionals from Latin America with exciting opportunities in the USA and Canada. The Summit provided a clear example of how this vision is being realized. For many professionals in attendance, the event was a chance to reflect on their journey and the global projects they’ve been a part of, opportunities that may not have been possible without WorldTeams.
One of the most impactful moments of the Summit came when Camila Brugger spoke about the personal motivation behind founding WorldTeams. Having witnessed the challenges of unsteady workflows growing up with both her parent architects, Camila made it her mission to create stable, rewarding opportunities for professionals in the AEC industry. The Worldies Summit was a testament to this mission, as professionals from around the world gathered to celebrate their shared success and look toward the future.
“Your trust in our teams has opened doors for exceptional talent, and I am excited to continue fostering these connections that drive success for everyone involved”.
– Nikki

The event was more than just an event; it was a celebration of what happens when talented professionals from different parts of the world come together to collaborate, innovate, and have fun.
