Join us for the 2025 Latina Leadership Summit - a powerful day of connection, inspiration, and action. This year’s theme, “Lead Forward,” celebrates the unstoppable momentum of Latina leaders shaping the future across industries.
Through dynamic panels, fireside chats, and personal storytelling, attendees will gain tools to lead with purpose, amplify their voices, and drive meaningful change in their communities and workplaces.
Hosted by Expedia Group’s LEAD (Latinx & Allies for Development) in partnership with L500 - a non-profit committed to elevating more Latinas into executive roles - this Summit brings together emerging and established leaders to share insights, build community, and champion representation.
Why Latinas?
Despite being one of the fastest-growing demographics in the U.S., Latinas represent only:
* 2% of STEM jobs
* 1.6% of senior executive roles in major corporations
Now in its 4th year, the Latina Leadership Summit exists to showcase thriving Latina leaders, share best practices, and empower the next generation to confidently claim their seat at the table.
Join Us
This year’s Summit will be hosted at Expedia Group’s offices in Austin, TX, where we look forward to welcoming attendees in person. Space is limited, so we encourage you to RSVP early to secure your seat.
Can’t join us in person? We’ve got you covered - the Summit will also be offered virtually to ensure access and connection across our wider Latinx professional community.
The event is free and open to Latinx professionals and allies across tech, business, startups, nonprofits, and beyond.
