About the Summit

Our Leadership Summits activate an influential network of Latino C-Suite executives, high achieving entrepreneurs, and thought leaders to convene for a day of wide-ranging conversations and connections aimed at elevating Latino leadership in America.

Building off the success of our Leadership Summit in New York, our first-ever Leadership Summit in the Bay Area will place a focus on creating an inclusive culture in Silicon Valley and feature impactful dialogue on a number of trending topics focused on innovation including advancements in renewable energy and diversity in tech.

We will also be unveiling the Class of 2017 annual print edition with a special recognition for our 2017 honorees at the event.

Power up your network and join the conversation.

Attendance is limited in order to maintain an intimate dialogue among all participants.
