Get ready to celebrate a decade of impact on June 26 at the 2025 Leadership Summit.

Leadership Summit is The Alumni Society’s signature annual event, a prime opportunity to foster meaningful connections among our network’s top Latino executives and leaders and drive career-changing relationships.

Our theme for 2025 is The Latino Decade.

This theme marks a dual celebration for our premier organization: the 10-year anniversary of our founding, and the dynamic future shaped by the growing Latino influence in the United States.

Together, we will celebrate a decade of growth, impact, and powerful community building, as well as cast a forward-looking spotlight on the sectors set to be transformed by this demographic shift in the coming decades—an impact that spans technology, government, housing, education, healthcare, and beyond.

To commemorate our 10th anniversary, the 2025 Leadership Summit: The Latino Decade will take place where The Alumni Society began: the vibrant city of Chicago.

You must be a member of The Alumni Society to attend Leadership Summit.
