Hispanicize 2015 – A Spotlight on Latino Communications and Influencers
Heralded as the Latino SXSW, Hispanicize, now in its sixth year, is the largest event in the U.S. for influential Latinos in digital, marketing, journalism, film, and music. Each year, Hispanicize becomes the center of the Latino digital world as more than 2,000 influencers gather in Miami to talk about the latest in the world of Hispanic communications. And because no Latino gathering is complete without music – there’s a heavy focus on music, with a lineup showcasing the hottest new Latino artists on the rise.
Its also become the focal point for major brands’ Latino campaigns, with brands like Google scheduled to talk about their strategy for reaching Hispanics in the U.S.
Some other highlights this year include the 2015 TECLA Awards, which showcases the best work being done in the digital multicultural space. Hosted by radio and TV personality Karli Henriquez, the TECLA Awards recognizes the best work from Latino bloggers, journalists, brands, and agencies.
