Our publication Latino Leaders Magazine continues the tradition that started 8 years ago to get the top Latino Leaders of our Community together, all members of the 101 Most Influential Latinos list we publish every year, in a Luncheon in Washington DC to discuss the most relevant topics and issues pertaining to our Latino Community.

Today, more than ever, our leadership community needs to stay strong, together and coordinated in front of the main and common challenges and issues we need to tackle to advance the Latino Community of the U.S. We all know how far behind we have been for so long in many areas and fields. We’re convinced that the dialogue and connection among leaders is paramount. We want to provide the right structure and environment to you and other leaders to talk and reflect.

The objective of the luncheon is a round table style discussion with you and the other leaders. This session is going to be a series of mini interviews with all those leaders in attendance, so our magazine will prepare a recap and article on the big issues discussed and the participants, to be published in our Spring 2022 edition.

Thank you to our wonderful sponsors for making this event possible-

ABOUT THE MAESTROS

The Maestros, formerly known as the Maestro Awards Ceremony, is a gathering of influential Latino Leaders across the country, intended to recognize and celebrate the achievements of members of the Latino Community. Recipients hail from a range disciplines - Business, Education, Civil Service, Religion, Medicine, and more. The Maestros acknowledge the trailblazers and innovators in the Latino community with nothing less than what is deserved: a gala. 

The ceremony highlights the histories and past achievements of the awardees and, by way of a live interview with Latino Leaders Magazine publisher Jorge Ferraez, focuses on the future of each recipient. Following the ceremony is a reception, including a wine toast from prominent Latino-owned wineries, where awardees and atendees are able to network and enjoy an evening of celebration.

ABOUT:

The Latino Franchise Symposium was created to gather all those who are interested in the Franchise business for the Hispanic Markets of the U.S and Latin America. This segment is growing at a fast pace, and yet we don’t know everything that needs to be known; all we know is that the possibilities for growth are large, with many sub segments yet to discover and even more unexplored niches.

This is why we created the Latino Franchise Symposium; a one-of-a-kind event to invite those with certain interests, experience, lessons, success stories, and even failures, to come and share visions with others and, by discussing them, increase the possibilities of success. Sponsors can talk to actual entrepreneurs, business owners, and investors about their brands, at the same time coming with an eagerness to know and create new opportunities for business, being guided and inspired by the speakers and participants. This will be, and has been, a very productive gathering in which everyone in attendance walks away with a benefit.

Due to COVID-19, last year, we hosted both a full-day seminar on September 11th via Zoom and an entirely virtual networking event experience on October 16th via YouCanEvent so attendees and exhibitors could listen to all their favorite topics and speakers AND network, separately! This year, we are creating a 5-day virtual event, packed with insight and information from experts in the franchise field. We’re here to help you become your own boss. We are so excited about this opportunity in the new normal, we have decided to make attendance free!

HIGHLIGHTS:

+ Exploring expansion opportunities in US Hispanic Markets
+ Exploring expansion opportunities from Mexico and Latin America Markets
+ Learning and sharing experiences and visions from the ones that have succeeded in Latino communities
+ Learning from the basics to expand intentionally/bi-culturally
+ Shopping for brands interested in you!
