Conferences

The “Who’s Who” in the music industry will descend on New York City on September 20 to kick off the third edition of the Latin Rap Conference (LRC) at Latin Quarters.

About 500 Girl Scouts, family members and volunteers have joined forces to address the specific needs of young Latinas at Girl Scouts of the USA’s fifth National Latina Conference, which took place July 14 through July 17 in Uniondale, N.Y. in partnership with Girl Scouts of Nassau County. The 2005 National Latina Conference is sponsored by Bank of America and has the theme “Connect to Friends, Family and Envision the Future.”

For someone apparently away from the business, advertising icon Daisy Exposito-Ulla keeps herself pretty busy. As Ad Age recently put it, the former leader of the Bravo Group – who shook the industry with her resignation last November – has kept herself involved with advertising organizations and participating in major marketing events.

One of the most influential components of LCAT’s activities is the National Latino Conference on Tobacco Prevention and Control. The theme of this year’s conference is “Marketing Disease to Latinos: Advocating for Social Change”. Every year the number of conference participants nearly doubles as the issue of how tobacco affects everyone’s health is of more and more importance. This year LCAT expects to welcome over 600 participants in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
