The forum follows a one-year project called the Latin America Trade Forum, which was undertaken by the Irish Exporters Association in 2014/15. Its activities included events and the publication of a trade policy document. The Chairperson of this, Patrick Daly, is also the Chairperson of LATC.

Through its annual Ireland-Latin American Trade Conference, LATC presents a unique opportunity to investors and business communities to hear about the latest developments and investment projects in Latin America. This forum will be the leading annual event for Latin American trade and investment in Ireland, allowing LATC to gain exposure to key financial players and investors in Ireland, as well as the support of ambassadors and their respective governments. It will also develop alliances with important Irish government organizations and other public and private institutions.
