The goal of this conference is to inform, discuss, and explore the most current cybersecurity strategies, principles, and practices for businesses throughout Maryland (and beyond).

Latino Business & Entrepreneurship Summit 2022 - The Aspen Institute
2022-10-18 | VIRTUAL
The Aspen Latino Business & Entrepreneurship Summit brings together high-level Latino and Non-Latino cross-sector leaders at the national and local levels to uplift policies, practices, and programs supporting Latino business owners and entrepreneurs.
Representing total economic output of $2.7 trillion in 2019 and the fastest-growing segment of U.S. small businesses, Latinos are setting the stage to reimagine the U.S. economy with their hiring and buying power, labor force participation, and other key economic indicators. Nevertheless, it remains an urgent priority for U.S. policymakers, innovators, investors, and business, philanthropic and civic leaders to collectively address the myriad systemic inequities that have unjustly capped the potential of the Latinos, especially in the business community. We will also identify actions to help Latino businesses thrive in this changing economy.
The second annual event will feature in-person keynotes and panels hosted at the Park Hyatt, as well as interactive breakout sessions to workshop solutions around key topics.
