The Community
GBG, Google Business Group, was created by Google in 2010 to Connect, Inform and Inspire. The Curitiba chapter led by Érica Marques and Pablo Esquivel became one of the most recognized communities in the world.
Ask Érica or Pablo and they will say the same thing. The greatest strength came from the people. Their energy, their generosity and the way they supported each other built something far bigger than any program or brand could contain.
As a global initiative, GBG ended. The community did not. And the fact that you are here reading this is proof of that legacy.
In 2026 Business Sessions becomes the next chapter of this story.
There is a place for you here. Let us write history. Again.
The Blog
We love events, but some insights deserve a quieter moment.
A place you can return to anytime, at your own pace.
That is why the blog exists.
Our content is thoughtfully organized into themes and connected through article series that help you dive deeper into the topics that matter. Each category reflects a different angle of modern entrepreneurship, strategy and digital growth.
Business Sessions brings reflections, real stories and practical insights to help entrepreneurs learn, grow and lead with clarity. Born from the same spirit that made GBG Curitiba one of the most recognized communities in the world, the blog continues a tradition of open and generous knowledge sharing.
Explore the themes below. Each category opens a new path for you to learn, reflect and grow at your own pace.
Business Sessions Events
If you remember Business Sessions, Let’s Talk, Meetups, GBG Lab or Open Pitch, you already know this community knows how to create meaningful events.
In 2026 we are rebooting the GBG experience into something new, bigger and better.
A new chapter built on the same spirit that made the original community unforgettable.
Our events have no scripts. No hype. Only people learning together, sharing real cases and helping each other grow.
Whether online or in person, every gathering carries the same essence that defined our best moments: generosity, collaboration and honest knowledge sharing.
Explore the events page. Each event is an invitation to connect, learn and be part of a story that keeps moving forward.
