BUILDING ON EXCELLENCE: The first and second year of the HPNG Latino Leadership Conference showcased the great leadership and exemplary achievements of the Latino community. Speakers from across the United States demonstrated how their talents and abilities extend beyond the corporate world, how Latino leaders are transforming the Hispanic community in impactful ways, and how together we are developing the pipeline for future Latino leaders.

TOOLS FOR SUCCESS: Working off of last year’s success, the 3rd Annual HPNG Latino Leadership Conference will offer the same focused look at professional growth in the Latino community, as well as an insider’s perspective on what Hispanic professionals can do to get ahead. This year’s event will focus on specific employee strategies and 21st century tools Latinos can utilize to further educate themselves, seek expert guidance, network within their industry, and ultimately achieve their maximum potential.

FOR LATINOS, BY LATINOS: The HPNG Latino Leadership Conference is developed for and presented by Latino professionals. The event provides an excellent opportunity for Latino executives to gain insight towards building an inclusive business leadership pipeline and developing strong Latino corporate leaders, one executive at a time. Distinguished Latino leaders will showcase their leadership styles and methods, and multi-cultural recruitment professionals will share their perspectives “from the inside” of what companies are doing to keep their Latino talent pipeline growing.

RECRUITING AND ADVANCING: This conference focuses on two separate audiences, those searching and developing talent such as recruiters, HR departments, corporate leadership development divisions, as well as corporate professionals looking for best practices on how to develop and manage their careers to their maximum potential.

EMPLOYEE RESOURCE GROUPS PANEL: Develop Leadership Skills Together

More than just focusing on career advancement, they help companies expand into new markets, exert influence, create meaningful messaging, and build opportunities for shared success. This panel will investigate the evolving role of ERGs and how they can facilitate professional development and networking, promote business growth and mentor the next generation through impactful support.
