Latin and Latino/a/x refers to a person with origins from anywhere in Latin America and the Caribbean (meaning it is a geographical term), while Hispanic refers to a person with ancestry from a country where the primary language is Spanish (meaning it is a linguistic term). The two should not be confused, but have both cultural and linguistic overlaps, hence why the two are often grouped together. 

The Latin and Hispanic people have a cultural influence on society, including the arts, politics, business and much more. Our top Latin and Hispanic speakers discuss important issues the Hispanic and Latino Americans are facing in today’s society and at work, such as diversity, identity, and belonging. They will introduce your audience to the Latin and Hispanic work culture and address possible issues when bringing Latin and Hispanic employees into your organization. The purpose is to give you and your team practical tools to help you encourage and integrate new cultures in your organization and improve your company culture.

Every year, from mid-September to mid-October, the celebration of the National Hispanic Heritage Month takes place. The aim of the Hispanic Heritage Month is to recognize the long and important presence of Latino Americans and Hispanic Americans as well as honoring the contributions they have made to American society. Of course, recognizing the importance of Hispanic and Latin voices go far beyond a single celebratory month, but Hispanic Heritage Month is a great way to put an extra spotlight on the often unrecognized efforts and struggles that these individuals face. 

Our Hispanic and Latin speakers are experts in different fields, but they do all have a common interest in the Latin and Hispanic heritage and culture in the United States. They can speak about a wide variety of different topics, such as diversity, politics, leadership, and team building, and they will share with your organization their personal inspirational story of success and overcoming challenges.
