Argentina is now on the map of Latin American trading. The first FX Expo Buenos Aires took place on September 17 and 18, 2026 at Golden Center Eventos, and it closed with numbers rarely seen at a debut: more than 3,500 registrations, over 1,500 people on the floor and eight industry awards handed out on the main stage.
It was the sixth edition of the tour, after Medellín (twice), Lima, Guadalajara and Quito, and the first one in the Southern Cone. Two days, one city and an audience that came to learn, compare platforms and do business.
September 17: a VIP night for 75 guests
The edition opened the night before the expo with a closed-door VIP evening. Seventy-five guests, among sponsors, CEOs and top traders, shared tables, wine and a live band in a setting designed for long conversations rather than quick handshakes.
It is the same format that has worked since the first Medellín edition: a separate space for the conversations where partnerships begin, the night before the doors open to everyone.
September 18: 1,500+ people at the expo
On September 18 the doors opened at 10:00 and the floor stayed busy until the awards ceremony at 18:30. More than 1,500 people walked through Golden Center during the day: experienced traders comparing platforms, students taking their first steps and business owners looking for partners in a market that is opening up fast.
The registration data describes a young and ambitious audience. Asked which role they identify with, 1,024 people answered student, 567 trader, 342 business owner and 305 investor, followed by enthusiasts, analysts, networkers, influencers, educators and fund managers.
16 talks and panels on one stage
The agenda brought together 16 talks and panels with the brokers, prop firms, academies and technology providers moving trading across the region: TPC, Exness, AP Markets, Exura Prime, Aurion, Soluciones Crypto, PuPrime, Vantage, Academia de Trading, Watch MyTrading and VexPro, plus an interview panel with the voices of LATAM trading.
The FX Experts Cup, live on the floor
At 13:00 the FX Experts Cup took over the expo floor with the Codench × VexPro live trading battle: 40 minutes of real-time trading in front of the audience. The best traders of the day competed for an iPhone 17 Pro Max, tablets, AirPods and funded accounts, and the winners were announced at the closing ceremony.
12 brands that bet on Argentina
None of this would have been possible without the brands that believed in a first edition. Twelve brands backed the debut in Buenos Aires, and their support kept general admission free.
The 8 winners of the Industry Awards
The day closed with the FX Expo Global Awards, Argentina edition: eight categories that recognize the brands building the Latin American trading ecosystem.
Buenos Aires showed that Argentina was not waiting for an invitation; it was waiting for a stage. The first edition is only the beginning.
