ABOUT THE SOLE SUMMIT AND GALA
Research and Panel Discussions: Our main research event, the SOLE Summit, provides the most up-to-date and thorough insights into Latino entrepreneurship. Join us in person or digitally as we present our research findings from the 2024 annual survey, which include insights on funding trends, access to government and corporate contracts, and more. In addition, participants can participate in panel discussions that go further into research findings.
Networking Opportunities & Business Expo: Our in-person event draws hundreds of attendees, including entrepreneurs, business executives, lawmakers, funding providers, and ecosystem builders who are dedicated to promoting Latino-owned firms. The event will also feature exhibitors from LBAN’s Business Scaling Program at Stanford, as well as other networking chances to interact and form new contacts.
Celebration: To wrap up the day’s activities, we invite attendees to join us off-site for the SOLE Gala. This lively dinner event brings together SOLE Summit attendees for more networking and a focus on Latino business.
The SOLE Summit events are open to everyone, but registration is necessary. We invite you to return to this website in the coming weeks once the entire agenda and speaker list are available.
