This Year's Theme: Lead Forward

Lead Forward is a call to action for Latina leaders to embrace the future with confidence, courage, and purpose.

As technology transforms the way we work, lead, and innovate, tomorrow's most impactful leaders will be those who can effectively leverage the power of artificial intelligence while strengthening the uniquely human qualities that inspire teams, build trust, foster collaboration, and create lasting impact.

Together, we'll explore how Latina leaders can navigate change, drive innovation, and lead organizations into the future.

  • "Being surrounded by so many strong, intelligent, and inspiring Latina women and hearing their stories of navigating careers was truly powerful. Latinas are often recognized for our joy and passion, but just as importantly, for our empathy. Events like this remind me how vital it is for us to come together, uplift one another, and lead with both strength and heart."

    • Hanna Llanca, former Summit attendee

  • "Spending time with so many smart, driven, and inspiring Latina women was energizing. It's a powerful reminder that while cognitive biases still exist in our culture, we're not facing them alone — and we're actively changing the narrative. Proud to be part of a community that's building the future of tech with purpose and representation."

    • Alejandra Tamez, former Summit attendee

  • "My heart is still so full from a day packed with valuable insights, vibrant energy, and meaningful connections through panels, fireside chats, breakout sessions, and networking. I've always been proud to be Latina, but being surrounded by hundreds of women who are C-suite leaders, tech innovators, and change-makers was a whole new level of awesome."

    • Angelica Sperança, former Summit attendee
