STEP is said to be a unique professional body providing members with local, national, and international learning and business networks focusing on the responsible stewardship of assets today and across generations. It provides education, training, representation, and networking for its members. 

The main goal of participating in and sponsoring STEP LATAM is to promote the Virgin Islands (VI) as a premier global jurisdiction for private wealth, trust, and estate planning services tailored to Latin American clients.

BVI Finance said this year's BVI Connect will take the form of a relaxed cocktail reception, creating an ideal setting for meaningful networking, conversation and relationship-building across the global financial services community. 

Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with leading professionals across the trust, wealth management, and financial services sector; build valuable relationships with VI practitioners and international industry experts; exchange perspectives on opportunities for Latin American clients and the role of the VI in international structuring; and have their VI questions answered through direct conversations with industry professionals.
