BRAINSTORM

This theme often encompasses:

• Highlighting purchasing power: Showcasing the growing disposable income and consumer spending of the Latino population.
• Emphasizing entrepreneurial spirit: Recognizing the high rate of Latino business formation and the job creation they drive.
• Showcasing market growth: Illustrating how the Latino demographic is a key driver of overall population and economic growth in many regions.
• Promoting cultural relevance: Stressing the importance of understanding and catering to Latino cultural nuances in business and marketing strategies.
• Identifying investment opportunities: Pointing to underserved markets and high-growth potential within the Latino business ecosystem.
• Advocating for equitable access: Discussing the need for increased access to capital, resources, and networks for Latino entrepreneurs.

In essence, "building the Latino business case" is about providing data-driven arguments and compelling narratives to convince stakeholders—from investors and corporations to policymakers—that the Latino community is a vital and increasingly indispensable component of the present and future economy. It "commemorates Latino trailblazers of the past while highlighting the emerging leaders who are actively shaping the future." The 2025 Summit will build on the momentum of past years by gathering 300+ Hispanic and non-Hispanic leaders from the private, public, and nonprofit sectors to align on shared priorities and catalyze action.

 Attendees will be able to dive into the newest data from relevant industry studies like the recently launched Hispanic Sentiment Study and receive actionable toolkits to act upon them.
