Hispanic Lifestyle’s Connecting Latinas of Influence Series Returns to Los Angeles for Hispanic Heritage Month

Business owners, professionals, and community leaders will gather on October 10, 2024, at the iconic Luminarias Restaurant to celebrate excellence in our community during Hispanic Heritage Month. Hispanic Lifestyle’s Connecting Latinas of Influence | Los Angeles event sponsored by Wells Fargo Bank, will feature a panel discussion with business owners who are thriving, insights from Latinas in the media, and the recognition of the 2024 Latinas of Influence.

Last year, Hispanic Lifestyle kicked off its return to in-person events by introducing the Connecting Latinas of Influence Series. In 2024, the series will visit five states: New York, Florida, Texas, California, and New Jersey.

Since formalizing the recognition of Hispanic Lifestyle’s Latinas of Influence, the achievements of over 325 women throughout the United States have been celebrated. In 2024, 48 new profiles will be added to the ongoing listing of Latinas making an impact on our community.

Sponsorship opportunities are now available. Individual ticket sales will begin 45 days before the event.

Recognizing Excellence in Our Community for Over 25 years

Established in 1997, Hispanic Lifestyle takes pride in our proven track record of establishing meaningful connections with hard-to-reach Latino professionals and community leaders. We focus on producing original, authentic content that is designed to inspire our audience.  A leader in connecting communities, Hispanic Lifestyle set the regional standard when we produced our first Latina Conference in San Bernardino, California in 2000.

After returning to in-person events last year, we’ve witnessed the power of personal connections and the impact they have on our community. While we appreciate our online audience, there’s truly something special about the energy and camaraderie at Hispanic Lifestyle events.
