LOS ANGELES, Aug. 22, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hispanicize, the largest annual gathering for Latinx trendsetters and influencers in digital content creation, journalism, marketing, entertainment, tech and entrepreneurship, today unveiled the first round of speakers for its content creators showcase slated for LA. The event is presented by returning title sponsor Prudential Financial from October 11-13th at Century City’s Intercontinental Hotel to close out Hispanic Heritage Month. (For tickets register here!)
“Our programming in Los Angeles aims to address the lack of diversity and inclusion in the creator industry that is often overlooked by big conferences,” said Katherine Johnson-Gunn, Founding Partner & Managing Director of Hispanicize Events. “Latinx creators reach the nation’s most powerful consumer—U.S. Hispanics - and produce some of the highest viewed content on social media. It’s time brands and media companies recognize that power.”
The agenda aims to empower creators to recognize their worth, offer tips into how to best approach brands, how to produce viral content, and how to scale their business. Returning for a second year will be the “Brands Love Content Creators Speed Dating” that will provide creators with unprecedented networking opportunities. Attendees will have an opportunity to meet one-on-one with the brands who are seeking influencer collaboration across a wide range of lifestyle verticals from retail to beauty, tech, travel, entertainment and business.
The event program starts on Thursday October 11th with influencer pre-treats including excursions, lunches, dinners, film screenings and more. The educational and overall event agenda launches on Friday, October 12th. Part II of the creators showcase featuring the film and music tracks, top influencer meet & greets, exclusive celebrity fireside chats and keynotes with entrepreneurs - will be announced soon.
