Wrapping Up the 2019 Conference & Career Expo

And the 2019 Conference & Career Expo has come to a close! Thank you to all of our speakers, sponsors, members and students for joining us for three days filled with professional development, personal connections, and community.

Wednesday, we kicked things off with attendees rocking gear from their alma maters and Prospanica. Michael Landers captivated the audience by exploring how to make meaningful cultural connections at his Plenary Session, Grow Your Global iQ. Prospanica Orlando and Prospanica UCF kept the party going at CityWalk, providing a space for attendees to network and celebrate.

Thursday marked the opening of the Career Expo and Management Center. Over 90 corporations, educational institutions and government agencies were ready and excited to meet with Prospanica members from across the nation. The Career Management Center was an invaluable resource for members to review their resumes before hitting the Expo floor.

Brillante Keynote speaker Claudia Romo Edelman brought us home as she spoke on how Hispanics are a power group within America and how we must own that power. Claudia reminded us that by claiming that power we can truly effect change. Attendees danced the night away as we began our Día De Los Muertos festivities packed with performers, mariachis and ghoulish beats.

“I have been attending the [Prospanica Conference & Career Expo] as a Board Officer since 2011 and I still feel the energy and enthusiasm of our Prospanica familia in my heart and soul. I am proud of this organization’s mission and how hard we as leaders work to bring more talented Latinos into the mix of corporate America.” – Beth Marmolejos, Prospanica New Jersey
