GITEX AI LATAM is the Latin American edition of the GITEX technology series, organised by KAOUN International, the overseas affiliate of inD, a Dubai World Trade Centre and Informa company, and hosted with the City Hall of São Paulo. The show pairs an exhibition with a conference programme centred on artificial intelligence and its deployment, alongside cybersecurity, data centres, deep tech, quantum and sector themes such as fintech, mobility and health tech. It targets enterprise and public-sector leaders, technology buyers, startups, investors and builders. The debut edition takes place in person at the Anhembi Convention Center in São Paulo, Brazil, on 16–17 March 2027. Admission is limited to trade and business professionals aged 18 and over, and the event bundles several featured shows, including AI Everything LATAM, GISEC LATAM and Super Compute X LATAM. Conference stages cover agentic AI, sovereign AI, digital trust, the data centre economy and power infrastructure, complemented by technical workshops, startup pitch competitions, a CISO meetings lounge and an investor meetings programme. By linking AI innovation with real-world adoption, the event gives the Latin American technology ecosystem a large regional meeting point for buyers, founders and capital.

GITEX AI LATAM brings its two-day AI programme to São Paulo in mid-March, at the tail of the wet season - expect 20-28C, high humidity and sharp afternoon thunderstorms that clear as fast as they arrive. This is Latin America's financial and engineering capital, a vertical, restless city where the regional tech scene actually lives rather than visits. Build in a spare evening: São Paulo rewards anyone willing to eat their way through it.
Guarulhos International (GRU) handles long-haul arrivals and sits about 25-30 km northeast of the centre - 45-70 minutes by car, depending badly on traffic. The CPTM Line 13-Jade train runs from the airport to Engenheiro Goulart for connections into the wider network, sidestepping the worst congestion. Congonhas (CGH) is far closer but domestic only. In the city itself the Metro is clean and fast; load a Bilhete Único card rather than buying single fares.
Skip the taxi queue — pre-book a fixed-price airport transfer with Kiwitaxi. Exploring beyond the city? compare rental cars on EconomyBookings.

Brazilian networks are quick in São Paulo, and you will lean on your phone constantly for ride-hailing and translation. Sorting an eSIM before departure avoids hunting for a local SIM, which normally requires a Brazilian CPF number. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
MASP (Museu de Arte de São Paulo). MASP on Avenida Paulista is unmistakable - a red-framed concrete box lifted on stilts, with much of its collection hung on freestanding glass easels instead of walls. The effect is disorienting and brilliant. Two hours is plenty. Paulista itself closes to cars on Sundays, turning the whole avenue into a street festival. Tickets on Tiqets →
Parque Ibirapuera. Ibirapuera is the city's great green release valve, with Niemeyer-designed pavilions scattered through it and the Museu Afro Brasil inside. Go early morning before the March heat builds and the storms roll in. The running loop is popular with locals, and it is one of the few places here with real open sky.
Mercado Municipal. The Mercadão, near the historic centre, is a stained-glass covered market known for two things: the mortadella sandwich and the pastel de bacalhau. Both are absurdly oversized and worth splitting between two people. Mornings are best - the surrounding streets get rougher after dark, so treat it as a daytime trip.
Beco do Batman. In Vila Madalena, Beco do Batman is a pair of alleys covered end to end in constantly repainted street art - the murals genuinely change from month to month. Half an hour covers it, and the bars in the surrounding streets are the natural place to end a conference evening.
How long does the trip from Guarulhos airport take?
Plan 45-70 minutes by car into central São Paulo, and more at rush hour - traffic here is severe and unpredictable. The Line 13-Jade train is slower door to door but far more reliable when the roads seize up.
What is the weather like in March?
Hot and humid at roughly 20-28C, at the end of the rainy season. Afternoon thunderstorms are common but usually brief, so carry a compact umbrella and expect the evenings to stay warm.
Do I need a car, and how do payments work?
Skip the car - traffic and parking make it a liability, and the Metro plus ride-hailing covers everything. Cards are accepted almost everywhere, and the instant-payment system Pix is ubiquitous, though it generally needs a local bank account.
