Ciudad de las Ideas (conference)

La Ciudad de las Ideas (Spanish pronunciation: [la sjuˈðað ðe las iˈðeas]) (stylized as CDI and translated as “City of Ideas” in English) is an annual conference held in Puebla, Mexico.

Introduced by the Mexican writer and television producer Andrés Roemer, the conference discusses ideas in science, technology, art, design, politics, education, culture, business, and entertainment.

In February 2021, the dancer and producer Itzel Schnaas denounced Andrés Roemer for sexual abuse, allegedly carried out against her during employment.

In May of the same year, the Attorney General's Office (Mexico) (FGR) issued an order of extradition against Roemer, but due to his flight to Israel, INTERPOL had to be contacted to issue a red card.
