ICEF Podcast: Latin America market update: Agent and educator reaction to COVID-19

Our podcast series continues with an in-depth review of current conditions and the future outlook for a number of key Latin American markets.

As readers may be aware, ICEF recently conducted its second online event – ICEF Virtual Americas – which was held from the 25th to the 27th of August. The event featured a series of webinars for attendees and we are adapting one of those for today’s podcast.

Our host is Marcela Wolff-Lopez, ICEF’s Director of Business Development for Latin America. Marcela is based in Medellin, Colombia and she is joined by a panel of experts from across the region. Their wide-ranging discussion explores how the region has responded to COVID-19 and also what opportunities are now emerging for recruitment from and among Latin markets.
