The event, set for Saturday, September 19, 2026, at the Gaylord Pacific Resort & Convention Center in San Diego, will feature a lineup of Latina entrepreneurs, executives, and changemakers, offering panel discussions, curated networking, and immersive experiences designed to accelerate growth and visibility. Program highlights include inspiring keynote speakers, entrepreneur and leadership workshops, community impact recognitions, elevated networking, business and career development opportunities, a three-course lunch, and an exclusive closing fiesta celebration.
