Ecuador has just marked a before and after in the region's financial history. FX Expo Quito, held on May 29 and 30, 2026, brought together more than 1,500 attendees, 120 guests at the VIP event, and the 15 leading companies in the forex and fintech ecosystem that bet on turning Quito into the new meeting point for Latin American trading. It was the fifth edition of the tour — after Medellín (×2), Lima and Guadalajara — and, without a doubt, one of the most vibrant.
For two days, international brokers, professional traders, technology providers, funds and educational communities converged in a single space to do business, discover new platforms and, above all, celebrate an industry that no longer needs to look north to find references — it's building them at home.
15 companies that trusted Ecuador
The factor that made this edition possible was, without a doubt, the trust of the sponsors. 15 international-tier companies brought their teams, their stands and their best game to Quito. Some returned after Medellín and Lima; others joined the tour for the first time. All of them made it clear: Ecuador is now a strategic stop.
The commitment of these brands made it possible to keep general admission free, a strategic decision that multiplied reach: 1,500 people walked the floor to try platforms, talk to CEOs and build their network. For sponsors, ROI wasn't a promise — it was a reality measured in leads, signed contracts and accounts opened during the event itself.
Quito was the proof that Ecuador isn't an emerging market — it's a market that has already emerged. What we saw in these two days is only the beginning.

The May 29 VIP: 120 leaders in one room
On the night of May 29, before opening the doors to the general public, we hosted the closed-door VIP event: 120 carefully selected guests among sponsors, CEOs, fund managers, top traders and strategic partners. Three hours of top-tier networking, private conversations and the first deals of the year between ecosystem brands.
The VIP format is a key piece of the FX Expo Global model: separating the space where the big deals happen from the space where community is built. It works. It works so well that we're already seeing the same pattern replicate in the upcoming Buenos Aires and Medellín editions.
1,500 people at the May 30 Expo
On May 30, the doors opened early. More than 1,500 people walked the floor throughout the day: established traders looking for new platforms, beginners wanting to learn from the best, and many curious visitors who ended up opening their first account before leaving.
The program included keynote conferences, expert panels, live technical analysis sessions, the official FX Experts Cup tournament and the classic closing ceremony with the awards.
The 7 awards delivered in Quito
The event closed with the FX Expo Global Awards 2026 — Ecuador Edition. This time 7 key categories were recognized, all validating the leadership of brands that have been building the Latin American trading ecosystem for years.
What's next after Quito
FX Expo Global already has its sights on the next stops on the tour: Buenos Aires on September 17–18, Medellín from October 22 to 24 featuring the new Market Close concept (the official closing after-party), Dubai in March 2027, and Guadalajara in May 2027.
Quito proved that when a city and an industry align, the result is unstoppable. Thanks to every sponsor, every attendee, every speaker and every team member who made the best edition of FX Expo Global to date possible. See you soon in Argentina.
