This year’s Conference is sponsored by Toyota and will be held August 3-6 at the San Diego Convention Center with the theme: Transform. Influence. Lead.

Three days of more than 25 workshops, exciting keynote speakers, presidential candidates, informative plenary sessions and inspiring remarks from leading experts across several fields are at the center of a Conference experience that seeks to inform and empower our community and spotlight the integral role of Latinos politically, economically and socially.

Among the exciting line-up of diverse speakers include Anthony Romero, Executive Director of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU); Nicole Taylor, President and CEO, Silicon Valley Community Foundation; Gloria Calderón Kellett, writer and executive producer of One Day At A Time, among many others.
