Thriving in the rapidly evolving sustainable finance landscape

The 16th annual Responsible Investor Americas Conference will take place in December 2025, marking the evolution of RI USA into a new, regionally focused event.

RI Americas builds on the foundation of RI USA, transforming into a truly regional event that brings together leading voices in sustainable finance from across the U.S, Canada, and Latin America. Building on this broader scope, the conference will provide deeper insights into the evolving regulatory landscape, market trends, and investment opportunities across the Americas.

Timed around major events including COP30 and the PRI in Person in Latin America – RI Americas will offer a unique opportunity to engage with asset owners, investment managers, banks, financial regulators, and data providers as Latin America takes a leadership role on the global stage.

We look forward to welcoming you to this reimagined event to gain actionable insights on the most pressing sustainability issues shaping the future of finance.
