The first international expo forum of Global Minds (GLOBAL MINDS), will be held in Punta Cana through the “International Expo Forum of Authors and Writers”, with the aim of strengthening cultural exchange, literary creation, and the future of the publishing industry both nationally and internationally.
Under the slogan “Between palm trees and white sand: write your story in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic!”, several writers, authors, entrepreneurs and leaders will be exchanging their ideas and experiences in order to learn from each other.
Among the panelists will be Miguel Franjul, director of the Listin Diario newspaper, who along with other colleagues will share their experiences with both national and international attendees.
Franjul, also demonstrated his support through the Listín en la Educación Actualizada (Plan Lea) program.
“GLOBAL MINDS Punta Cana establishes itself as a unique space to celebrate creativity and cultural diversity, offering an exceptional platform for participants to boost their legacy and broaden their horizons,” so informed the creator of this event, Euselandia Alcántara, who highlighted the importance of creating this type of space.
She went on to add that her greatest wish is for the country to become “a destination for literary tourism”, after highlighting that this is a strategy to be able to connect at a global level with all readers and writers not only from the Dominican Republic but also from other countries.
“I am one of those who believe that the printed book will never disappear,” said the editor of the Fundaver Foundation, Verónica Sención, after highlighting the transition that the media has been experiencing from the print to the digital era.
From how to write, edit to publish books are some of the topics that will be discussed in this forum that will be held from October 24 to 26 in Punta Cana.
Other participants include: communicator Emilia Pereyra, Verónica Sención: cultural promoter and manager of literary events, comedian Raymond Pozo, Euselandia Alcántara, creator of the forum, among others. Attendees will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in discussions on current challenges and opportunities, exploring topics such as: Artificial Intelligence vs. Human Intelligence in Content Creation, Literary Tourism as a Driver of Cultural Development, Marketing and Promotion Strategies for Modern Authors, Diversity and Inclusion in Contemporary Literature, The Role of the Media in Global Literary Promotion.
Emergence of the initiative
In recounting how the initiative for this forum came about, Alcántara noted that they started out as an advertising agency in the Dominican Republic and then moved to Florida as a marketing agency.
It is an international event designed to inspire and connect authors, entrepreneurs, publishers and literary dreamers in a paradisiacal setting. During this time, the number of authors approaching the organization internationally needed to have more exposure and connect with authors from other countries.
“Knowing the great quantity and quality of authors we have in the Dominican Republic we wanted to do this event to connect outside the name of a publishing house and do it as a real project,” expressed Alcantara.
Referring to future plans he highlighted that it is a multi-destination project, so the surprises will be given in February next year we are talking about a new continent.
