over 200 exhibitors ranging from Hispanic and international enterprises to Fortune
500 companies and government agencies. This one day event is free and open to
the public.
At the USHCC, we understand the value of
procurement and this year's theme, "Tapping
in to a New Age of Commerce" best summarizes our unique initiatives
to promote the following:
• Procurement
• Latina Leadership
• Advocacy
Our main mission at the USHCC is to actively promote the
economic growth and development of Hispanic entrepreneurs and the interests of
more than 2.5 million Hispanic-owned businesses in the United States. As advocates
for the Hispanic business community, the theme at this year’s convention
is  meant to inform and encourage the Hispanic business community to tap into
the “green” way of doing business. This year’s convention will
continue to promote best practices on creating wealth, accessing procurement
opportunities, and securing and sustaining long-term business growth while adding
an environmental bend to the way of doing business.
For those executives and corporate
leaders wishing to secure one of a kind access to the country’s fasting-growing and most influential community,
we invite you to participate in the country’s largest gathering of Hispanic
business owners
