The New Generation Latino Consortium has just added more sponsors and speakers to the ‘NGLC Media, Marketing & Entertainment Conference’ taking place at the Harvard Club of NYC on Monday April 5, 2010.

Presented by mun2, Telemundo’s New Generation Latino TV network, the one-day conference will take place from 9:00am until 6:00pm at The Harvard Club of NYC located at 35 W44th Street between 5th and 6th Avenues in Manhattan. Representatives from featured co-sponsors MTV-Tr3s and Sí TV will also be on hand to exclusively discuss New Generation Latinos’ impact in the fields of media, marketing and entertainment. The day will kick off with a special keynote address by CNN anchor and special correspondent, Soledad O’Brien, followed by three exciting panel discussions, research keynote Raul Cisneros from the U.S. Census, special guest speaker AHAA Chair Gisela Girard, a celebrity sit-down with actor John Leguizamo and writer/director Franc Reyes moderated by Telemundo COO Jacqueline Hernández, a catered luncheon presented by Pepsi featuring PepsiCo SVP, Chief Consumer Engagement Officer, Frank Cooper III, and finally a Hennessy cocktail networking reception at nearby Havana Central. HispanicAd.com is serving as the NGLC’s exclusive trade media partner with uStream.TV participating as the LIVE online broadcast platform for the Leguizamo and Reyes featured segment. Also recently signing on to sponsor is Spanish language TV network, V-me.

“When we first started the NGLC back in 2002, the New Generation Latino (NGL) audience was just beginning to be noticed. In the years that have followed, thanks to the dedication of those in the NGL media and entertainment fields such as our sponsors and panelists, we’ve come a long way. Given New Generation Latinos’ critical role in shaping the face of this country, I expect there to once again be some very insightful and engaging discussion taking place on April 5th at the Harvard Club of NYC. As the only Latino business conference of its kind, NGLC is not one to be missed,” says David Chitel, NGLC Founder and Chairman.

Keynote, CNN’s Soledad O’Brien states, “As a New Generation Latina, I can appreciate first-hand what the NGLC conference is all about. Hopefully organizations and events like this help to publicly recognize the diverse Latino population living in the U.S. and play a meaningful role in getting our stories told.”

“As the leading Young Latino American brand, mun2 is excited to partner with NGLC Media and entertainment thought-leaders on a conference that delves into the heart of one of America’s most fascinating conversations…The Next Generation Latino,” says Jacqueline Hernández, Chief Operating Officer for Telemundo. “In this new decade, for many businesses this consumer is the new definition of the sweet spot.”

Michael Schwimmer, Sí TV CEO said, “We are excited to partner with the NGLC Marketing, Media & Entertainment conference to celebrate the powerful and lucrative New Generation Latino audience. Our television network is 100% focused on serving this community, so it’s great to see the NGLC’s success in bringing this conference together to focus on the importance and influence of New Generation Latinos, the media they consume, and the opportunity they represent for advertisers.”
