About this event
Build in Public en LatAm: El seguro de auto en gasolina, Mc Fly is a meetup for people who care about building, sharing, and learning out loud. If you like conversations that are honest, practical, and closer to real work than polished stage talk, this is the kind of room you’ll want to be in. This gathering in Ciudad de México brings together a community around building in public in a Latin American context: what it looks like, what makes it hard, and why it matters. Expect a social, grounded, in-person afternoon where networking is part of the point, not an afterthought. About the Event At its core, this event is about the practice of building in public: sharing ideas, progress, experiments, lessons, and setbacks as you create. In many communities, this has become a powerful way to find collaborators, attract early supporters, sharpen your thinking, and stay accountable. Here, the focus is on how that mindset translates to LatAm, where the path to building often comes with its own realities, constraints, and opportunities. This is not positioned as a highly formal conference or a distant panel-only experience. The tone is community-first, conversational, and social. The title itself signals personality and specificity, which suggests an event that values perspective over corporate polish and meaningful exchange over generic networking. Because it’s an in-person meetup, a big part of the value comes from being in the room with others who are also making things happen. Whether you’re early in your process or already deep into building, this kind of environment creates space for real questions, useful feedback, and the kind of connection that rarely happens in a rushed online thread. You should come expecting a local community atmosphere with enough structure to bring people together, but enough openness for organic conversations to happen. If you’ve been looking for a place where internet-native ideas meet face-to-face discussion in Spanish-speaking LatAm, this is a strong fit. What to Expect You can expect an afternoon meetup designed around conversation, connection, and shared curiosity. The event is tagged as community, networking, meetup, and social, which points to a format that likely balances light structure with room to circulate, meet people, and follow interesting conversations. A useful way to think about the experience is: Arrival and informal mingling so people can settle in and start meeting each other naturally Community-driven discussion around building in public, sharing work, and navigating that process in LatAm Open networking with founders, builders, creatives, operators, and curious peers Social time where conversations can go beyond introductions and into real exchange Rather than attending to sit quietly in the back, you’ll probably get more out of this event if you come ready to talk. Bring the project you’re building, the question you’ve been stuck on, the experiment you’re considering, or simply your perspective on what it means to build openly in the region. You do not need to arrive with a polished pitch. In fact, meetups like this are often most valuable when people show up with honest context: what they’re trying, what’s working, what isn’t, and what kind of people they hope to meet. That makes for better conversations and better follow-up after the event. Why Attend The strongest reason to attend is simple: proximity to the right people changes momentum. If you’ve been building mostly online or mostly alone, being in a room with others who understand the process can make your next step clearer. You may leave with a sharper idea, a helpful introduction, a new collaborator, or a more honest view of what your project needs. There’s also value in seeing how the idea of “build in public” lands in a LatAm setting. Advice from other markets doesn’t always translate cleanly. This meetup creates room for region-specific conversations about audience, trust, storytelling, community, distribution, and the realities of building from here rather than importing assumptions from elsewhere. You should also attend if you want networking that feels more useful than transactional. Events built around shared practice tend to attract people who can talk concretely about what they’re making and why. That usually leads to better conversations than generic startup small talk. A few likely takeaways from showing up: New relationships with people building in adjacent spaces Fresh perspective on how to share your work more openly and effectively Practical insight from hearing how others approach momentum, visibility, and community Local context that makes the idea of building in public feel more relevant and usable in LatAm Energy to keep going after spending time with people who are also in motion Practical Details This is an in-person event in Ciudad de México, Mexico, which means the experience is intentionally local and face-to-face. If that’s your preferred format for meeting people, asking better questions, and building stronger professional relationships, this setup works in your favor. The meetup takes place on Saturday, October 25 at 4:00 PM CST. The weekend afternoon timing makes it easier to attend without the pressure of a weekday work schedule, and it also suits a social-community format where people can stay present, talk at length, and not feel rushed. Because the event centers on community and networking, it’s worth arriving with a little intention. A few simple ways to prepare: Know how to describe what you’re building in one or two clear sentences Bring one real question you’d like to discuss with others Be ready to introduce yourself beyond your job title Leave space for serendipity instead of trying to optimize every interaction If you’ve been wanting a reason to step out from behind the screen and meet builders, operators, and community-minded people in person, this is a good one. The format, timing, and local focus all point to a meetup built for conversation, not performance.
