It was really a no-brainer as I received my first invite to attend the 2011 LATISM conference<\/a> a few months back. \u00a0I signed up to attend as the folks that run LATISM, or #LATISM as it is perhaps more commonly known, really get social media and its role with Hispanics. \u00a0Even better,\u00a0it will be in November before Thanksgiving and I really have wanted an excuse to get to Chicago anyway.<\/p>\n

Let me tell you a bit more about LATISM, the conference, and what tracks I will personally be attending.<\/p>\n

The Basics<\/h2>\n

LATISM stands for Latinos in Social Media. \u00a0The group was founded as a non profit in 2009\u00a0dedicated to advancing the social, civic and economic status of the Latino community. \u00a0The group has grown fast and is recognized as\u00a0the most influential online movement in the new multicultural Web.<\/p>\n

Following #LATISM<\/h2>\n
\"\"

A view of #LATISM on Twitter<\/p><\/div>\n

LATISM enjoys\u00a0one of the largest Latino network on Facebook<\/a>\u00a0and also is creator of one of the most popular hashtags on Twitter, the\u00a0#LATISM hashtag<\/a>, which\u00a0captures over 10 million impressions on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

People know that if you want the most current news on what is going on in Hispanic news, you simply need to look at the hashtag #LATISM on Twitter. \u00a0As you can see from the screenshot at right, a quick review of #LATISM will provide current discussions on immigration, Latino genealogy, and bio of a Latina innovator.<\/p>\n

The Conference<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/a>

A view of the Chicago Navy Pier, site of the 2011 LATISM Conference<\/p><\/div>\n

The conference will be a 3 day event in Chicago. \u00a0It will be at the Navy Pier which Im pretty excited about. \u00a0Coming from Phoenix Im sure I will have a slight temperature adjustment but Im sure it will be well worth it. \u00a0I wont lie I’m also pretty excited for the after events that will take place where Im going to catch up with a few old colleagues, make some new\u00a0acquaintances\u00a0in Hispanic marketing, and hopefully dance poorly to a bachata or two. \u00a0As a director of the Phoenix LATISM chapter, I will also have a chance to meet with many of the other chapter directors from around the country.<\/p>\n

The conference will have 3 tracks which I think fully represent the Latino social media landscape we have today.<\/p>\n

Nov 10th<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

9am:\u00a0Public Service Track: Reaching Out for Health Through Social Media – Right down my ally, as having worked with the CDC and other government health agencies I am interested to see what will be presented here.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
