La nueva triple frontera: California, China y Chile
Last night I spoke at the Meetup in Viña del Mar. The event was excellent! Here is the blurb we used to advertise it:
Leslie Forman, a California native who spent four years working in China, will speak about the new frontier of connections between California, China, and Chile (EN ESPAÑOL.) She is the daughter of two Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, and technology has always been a part of her life. In China she worked in many different industries, including advertising, consulting, corporate social responsibility and teaching. However, she always found herself thinking about Chile, where she had studied back in 2005.
Leslie will share several entertaining stories about the unexpected connections between California, China and Chile and give some advice for companies and individuals looking to operate in this triangle.
Here are my slides. They are in Spanish, but they’re packed with photos and the stories might be familiar to loyal readers of this blog. (Hola Grandma Ginny!)
AMENDED 10/2/11: Here is the PDF – La nueva triple frontera: California, Chile, China – feel free to share or print it. Enjoy!!

I'm Leslie and I connect entrepreneurs in Chile, China, California, and beyond — especially through translation, training, and trade. More about me.

Awesome, am enjoying all your interesting posts from Chile! Sounds like you’ve been writing and presenting a lot on the intersection of China and Chile. Had no idea that such a niche existed and there are so many opportunities there!
Thanks Akhila! Yeah, it’s a fun niche. I’ve met a handful of people here in Chile that focus on China, and I look forward to finding new ways to work with them. It’s a lot of fun.
