What EBDI does

EBDI (legal name: Enterprise Business Development & Information – Midia e Eventos Ltda) is a privately held Brazilian B2B events and executive networking company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Alphaville, Barueri (São Paulo), with additional offices in Sumé and Campina Grande (Paraíba). The firm operates a portfolio of exclusive, closed-door multi-day immersion events targeting C-level executives and senior business leaders from large Brazilian enterprises — including Ambev, Itaú, iFood, Siemens, Embraer, Nestlé, BASF, IBM, McDonald's, Bayer, and Heineken — held at premium resort venues in Águas de Lindóia, Guarujá, and Cesário Lange. Programming is organized into 11+ vertical event series spanning CEO, CFO, HR, Technology, Retail, Industry, Cybersecurity, Customer Experience, and Shared Services, with 17+ events scheduled for 2026 priced at R$5,899–R$7,889 per attendee via tiered lot structures.

The company's product portfolio extends beyond events into adjacent media and services: People Connect (curated executive networking), Profile Match (talent/executive matching), Academy (training and professional development), Agency (corporate event design and execution), and Revista ebdi Trends (industry publication). Revenue is generated through two streams: paid event registrations and tiered corporate sponsorships (Prime, Vision, Emerge, Supreme, Exclusive), with sponsors including SAP, Miro, Autodesk, Mercedes-Benz, Grupo Unipar, Deel, Gallagher, Botmaker, and others who gain branded access to the executive audience. The Warana partnership adds a structured Master Class TLP leadership development program as a higher-margin extension.

Go-to-market is exclusively direct: field sales, WhatsApp, direct email, and organic social channels (LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube). The company is LGPD-compliant under Brazilian data protection law, operates with 51–100 employees, and shows no public revenue, funding, or M&A activity in the available data.
