This document summarizes the 2017 conference of the Association of Latin American and Caribbean Registrars (ASORLAC). The conference aimed to increase information exchange about best registry practices between member countries. It also promoted alliances to improve efficiency and effectiveness of registry systems and strengthen business competitiveness. Specific topics discussed included Colombia's reforms facilitating access to credit through expanded movable assets registries, and reducing business start-up times through electronic registration. ASORLAC is working with Paraguay to implement similar simplified business registration laws based on Colombia's successful practices. The Bogota Chamber of Commerce will serve as a case study on virtualizing registry services for an international report.
