From New York to the world.

Visionarium takes young people inside the companies, studios and universities where the world is actually being built — and introduces them to the people building it.

What if the world became your classroom?

Young people don't only need more information. They need more exposure — more questions, more conversations, more possibilities.

Visionarium creates experiences that take learning beyond the classroom and into the real world, connecting young people with the people, places and ideas that change what they believe is possible.

“Because sometimes the most important thing a young person can discover is not an answer. It’s a possibility they had never imagined before.”
Lala García

Different experiences. One vision.

One edition at a time, each in its own city. An edition keeps its page after it ends — what sells the next one is the record of the last.

It all started in New York.

Visionarium was born in New York. For years, young people entered rooms they never imagined they would enter, and met people they never imagined they would meet — business, technology, culture, art, education and leadership from the inside.

But New York was never the destination. It was the beginning: the city changes edition to edition, and what it proved travels with the program.

In their own words.

Visionarium is best understood by the people who have lived it.

The students who came looking for experiences often left talking about something else: a friendship, a new idea, a new direction, a new definition of success, or a different understanding of themselves.

Lines students wrote after the New York editions — the companies, the city, and what stayed with them. Every name is real and published with permission.

“I came thinking that only the best were recognized. I left knowing that there were infinite ways of being the best — so we can all be the best.”
Julian Montalvo · Colombia
“Lala once said to me — ‘Dream big, because all dreams are possible and the world is yours.’ Today I can say that thanks to Visionarium, I’m on the right path to become who I really want to be.”
Marianna Maldonado · Colombia
“This is a very elegant and unique place, where we learned how to always be classy and graceful. I really enjoyed it!”
Alejandro Klaric · Mexico
“In the streets of New York you sense some sort of equality. No person is more important than the rest. Everyone is thriving to get to their destination. Everyone mobilizes the same way: walking.”
Jorge Andrés Dávila · Colombia
“It is hard to describe Bloomberg in one word. Their technology, constant innovation and workspace are absolutely impressive.”
Sebastian Acosta · Colombia
“Google is a really fun place to work and their inventions are always trying to help the human being evolve. The people that talked to us showed us a few inventions, and all of them were really inspiring.”
Marianna Maldonado · Colombia
“Being at Visionarium was not an end, it’s the beginning of who I want to be tomorrow.”
Julian Montalvo · Colombia
