Prior to the Forum, Guillermo has organized and participated in conferences and exhibitions in New York City, Dallas, Berlin, Miami, Panama, and Edinburgh.

From 2015-2018 he co-organized Port to Port, a nomadic curatorial initiative interested in the history of labor movements, infrastructure, and trade in global port cities. He also co-founded TVGOV, an artist-led communications strategy think tank that explored how data-driven research, art, new media, and symposia could inform public policy design on ecological valuation.
