MSIA Minister Meeting in São Paulo: English Session with Portuguese Translation (Nov 21, 2026)

Q: What languages are used during the event?

The session is conducted in English with consecutive Portuguese translation (live guide languages: en, pt).

Brazil Locals Minister Meeting | November 21, 2026 gathers MSIA ministers for a focused English session with consecutive Portuguese translation in the heart of São Paulo. The convening takes place at Intercity Paulista hotel Rua Haddock Lobo, 294 | Bairro Cerqueira Cesar São Paulo - SP - 01414-000, just a short walk from Avenida Paulista and Parque Trianon. This two-hour meeting balances concise study with communal practice, offering bilingual access for both anglophone visitors and local Portuguese speakers.

What makes this event notable is the deliberate translation format: English with consecutive Portuguese translation, led by facilitators who move fluidly between languages (live guide languages: en, pt). That linguistic bridge turns a standard seminar into an inclusive exchange where questions, testimonies, and study notes are accessible to everyone in the room. For traveling ministers or bilingual learners it’s a rare chance to practice ministry language in real time while anchored in São Paulo’s energetic cultural corridor.

The meeting fits easily into an urban itinerary. After check-in at Intercity Paulista you can step outside into a block defined by modernist towers, sidewalk cafés, and stretches of original Atlantic Forest in Parque Trianon. Key scene features include the Paulista skyline, tree-lined Haddock Lobo, and the pocket of native vegetation preserved at Trianon — small but significant remnants of São Paulo’s ecological history. Expect an atmosphere more like a focused workshop than a tourist lecture, with conversation, readings, and practical administration.

Attendance carries specific administrative requirements: Prerequisites: Must be an MSIA Minister in Good Standing | Current subscription to discourses or current subscription to SATs if you have completed Discourse #144. To renew your Discourses or SAT Subscription, email [email protected] or call +1 (323) 737-4055 and ask to speak to someone in the Products and Services Department. Registration and tech support contacts are [email protected] and [email protected] respectively.

Practicalities: the session lasts roughly 2 hours, so plan for a morning or afternoon meeting and leave time to explore Paulista’s museums and cafés afterward. The format suits participants looking for disciplined study, bilingual fellowship, and face-to-face ministerial connections in one of Brazil’s largest, most cosmopolitan cities. Whether you’re renewing subscriptions, exchanging notes with peers, or simply sharpening ministry skills in Portuguese and English, this meeting offers concentrated value within São Paulo’s rich urban landscape.

Plan to arrive early to navigate São Paulo’s busy sidewalks and to connect informally with other ministers over coffee. Public transit access is excellent—subway stations on Avenida Paulista are within walking distance—so favor transit over driving during peak hours. Bring any study material and a small notebook; sessions move quickly. If you cannot attend, email [email protected] for cancellation guidance or to inquire about future dates and related events.
