6th Annual PA Latino Convention Announced: 1 Million Strong
Come Together to Make History in Harrisburg

HARRISBURG, PA – Come together to make history all under the symbol of democracy and freedom, our Capitol, Harrisburg PA. Join us to discuss all aspects of Latino life, community, policy, and agenda in Pennsylvania at our prestigious Capitol, Harrisburg. The Pennsylvania Latino Convention is transformative and intentional for Latinos and non-Latinos, it is designed to empower, educate and celebrate our communities. 

Pennsylvania’s Latino community is the fastest growing segment of the population, accounting for more than fifty-percent of the state’s population growth in the last two decades. PALC is the only statewide Latino conference pursuing an agenda that is policy-driven, research-based, and data-oriented to advance the social, cultural, political, economic, and educational status of Pennsylvania’s 1.1 million + residents of Latino descent.

PALC is an opportunity to assemble the state’s movers & shakers, professionals, leaders and emerging leaders, policy makers, advocates, entrepreneurs, and community members to tackle issues impacting the fastest-growing segment of the population. “Now is the time to come together and make history, to honor the strength of our country and our communities” said PALC Chair, Norman Bristol Colón. Norman and PALC Vice-Chair, Olga Negrón, alongside our partners, are serving as a bridge for educational, health, housing, employment, and economic advancements in Latino communities throughout Pennsylvania.

The Hispanic market is the largest minority market in the U.S. and continues to expand in all aspects of the American economy. Hispanic/Latino spending power grew to $1.9 trillion in 2020, a remarkable increase of 87% from 2010. Last year, more than 32 million Latinos were eligible to vote – making Latinos the largest ethnic voting bloc for the first time. Partner with us to expand your outreach.

The convention agenda will include dynamic super sessions featuring prominent leaders, professionals, experts and advocates: Plenaries, Town Halls, Leadership Institute, Workshops, Health & Wellness Pavilion, Education Pavilion, Exhibitors, State Leadership Luncheon, and Gala Dinner Reception.
