Experiential Activity in the afternoon

HERO CLUB SUMMIT 2025 (PUERTO RICO) -- RECAP

Over the course of three days and against the stunning backdrop of San Juan, we immersed ourselves in high-level discussions, explored bold leadership strategies, and forged relationships that will continue to shape the future of business.

From exclusive mastermind sessions to immersive cultural experiences, every moment of the Summit was designed to challenge perspectives and elevate success. Attendees engaged in powerful conversations on scaling businesses, leveraging innovation, and leading with impact. We were honored to hear from remarkable speakers, including Puerto Rico’s top business minds, including the President of the Puerto Rico Chamber of Commerce, Luis Pizarro, and the General Manager of El Convento Hotel, Henry Neumann. They both who shared invaluable insights on entrepreneurship, branding, economic growth, and the importance of traditions.


Beyond the boardroom, we embraced the spirit of Puerto Rico walking the historic streets of Old San Juan, indulging in world-class cuisine, and experiencing the island’s rich traditions. More than just a business event, this Summit was a catalyst for transformation—reinforcing the Hero Club’s mission to lead with integrity, collaboration, and a commitment to making a difference.
