REFLECT ON THE EXPERIENCE
ABOUT THE EVENT
2021 is all about reckoning with and reimagining the challenges of 2020—as well as the progressive movement that that tumultuous year brought forth. Which begs the question—¿y ahora qué?
At this year’s signature gathering, The Alumni Society will showcase brilliant Latino thought leaders who are staying one step ahead. These leaders will share their own bold predictions and insights on both the future of their industries and the workplace, and explain what everyone needs to do to be prepared.
The Alumni Society’s annual Leadership Summit isn’t just a conference, it’s a transformative experience that activates a network of top Latino leaders in the United States at the forefront of business and innovation and facilitates long-lasting relationships with like-minded peers.
