PortadaLat

June 8-9, Miami, Florida 

Founder: Marcos Baer

PortadaLat is now in its seventh year. It covers the Latin American and U.S. Hispanic digital marketing, tech and media space. It's a two-day annual gathering of key brand marketing, advertising, media and content leaders from all over the Americas. 

This year will include more offerings such as travel and luxury, more sessions exploring the marketing technology revolution and an expanded speaker roster. It will bring back all-time favorites such as an online video forum, speed networking and the Latin American Advertising and Media Award Ceremony.

LATISM

Usually in the fall, 2016 dates and venues not yet announced. 

Founder: Ana Roca

LATISM (Latinos in Tech Innovation and Social Media) aims to empower the Latino community in education, health, technology and business using technology and social media. Initially geared more towards bloggers, LATISM has gradually shifted its focus to education. In its October 2015 edition in Washington D.C. the conference covered a variety of topics, including immigration, teaching young children to code, and small business management for Hispanics. 

The 2016 date and venue will be announced on their website.

 

Latinas Think Big

San Francisco and NYC, 4 times a year. 

Founder: Angelica Perez-Litwin

In 2016, Latinas Think Big will be hosting local entrepreneurial events in San Francisco and in New York City several times a year. The goal of these community gatherings is to build supportive and entrepreneurial ecosystems through networking, peer mentoring and learning. 

The events are aimed at local entrepreneurs and innovators, aspiring entrepreneurs and career professionals. Attendees can exchange ideas, learn or mentor, and strategize to move their business ideas forward.
