Adelante Conference.

Empowering the

Latinx identity

Harvard Business School
05 October 2019

About

Adelante is a Latinx professional conference that brings together the Latinx community across Harvard, Boston, and the United States. This year, the conference kicks off a year long celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Latino Student Organization (LASO) at Harvard Business School.

 

With this year's theme of Empowering the Latinx Identity, we aim to challenge attendees to explore what it means to be Latinx - especially in today's social and political climate - and what it means to empower both yourself and others in the Latinx community. This full day of programming includes keynotes and panels by Latinx leaders and employers. Open to students, alumni, professionals, and the greater community.
