California Hispanic Chambers of Commerce Gears up for Annual Convention in Orange County

The California Hispanic Chambers of Commerce, the premier organization promoting the development of Hispanic entrepreneurs and emerging Latino businesses in California, is gearing up for its 2014 Annual Convention to be held in Orange County this August.

The three-day convention, from Aug. 13 to Aug. 15, will be held at the Hyatt Regency Orange County and will have a multimillion-dollar economic impact on Orange County, with thousands expected to attend.

“We are excited to bring our 2014 Convention to Orange County,” said Alice Perez, President and CEO of the California Hispanic Chambers of Commerce. “Our 35th convention focuses on providing resources to our local chambers and also bringing opportunities to Hispanic Businesses throughout the state particularly in International Trade and Procurement. We also have a day committed to Latinas who represent the fastest growing businesses. With Orange County’s Latino business community growing quickly, it’s a great time to showcase Latino businesses for the entire state.”

This year’s convention theme “Latino Business Energizing, Powering, Transforming the U.S. Economy” showcases the power of Latino businesses in California and the impact they are making in California’s economy.

This year’s star-studded event will include names such as comedian Felipe Garza, entertainment entrepreneur Nelly Galan, among others.

A special business exposition will be open to the public to showcase Latino businesses from throughout the state. Attendees will also have the opportunity to attend an International Trade Symposium.
