The advent of the digital age combined with the mass adoption of social media technologies have created the perfect storm for the virtual gathering of the Latino community online. Latinos and Latinas are becoming more and more influential as the cultural background of community building is second nature to us. This combined with the social tools and networks available, makes it possible for Latinos and Latinas to communicate more efficiently and to share their thoughts, ideas, concerns, successes and failures with the community at large.
Because of the massive growth that our community has experienced online and offline, we thing that it is time for us to be properly represented through a gathering of people that analyses and ponders the role we are playing in shaping American culture in the digital age.
Latino2 is a gathering of people for all things Latino in the Digital Age. Latino2 is powered by LatISM (Latinos in Social Media) Latino2 aims to be represent us and to give us a stronger voice in the mainstream.
In order to put a great conference together we need your help. We would like you to join us for an informal meeting in Los Angeles where we will discuss the essence of Latino2 and where we will lay down the basis for the implementation of this magnificent event.
