The South American Business Forum, also known as 'SABF', is an annual conference that takes place at the Instituto Tecnológico de Buenos Aires in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The forum aims, through dialogue and the interaction between current leaders and future leaders, to make a contribution to the sustainable development of South America and the world.

The South American Business Forum was founded in 2005,[1] and has been organized annually since then by students of the Instituto Tecnológico de Buenos Aires.[2] The event gathers 100 university students from all around the world and 40 prominent international leaders from the academical, financial, political and social spheres.
