The conference will run from April 3-April 6th.

DIVERGE talked to the CEO & Founder of Hispanicize Media Group, Manny Ruiz, to find out more:

Where did the idea for the first CMO summit come from?

Our goal was to build a truly industry-to-industry only component to our annual event, featuring the highest level executives and influencers. The CMO Summit will be a white glove experience to all who attend.

How will this affect Hispanicize as a conference? Will this be a regular event from now on? The CMO Summit will be a white glove enhancement to the marketing industry agenda already within the larger conference. This is also the only Hispanic marketing industry event of this scale and caliber taking place in April. We absolutely think the Summit will become a tradition at Hispanicize.

Who can attend the CMO Summit and what can attendees expect?

Attendees will exclusively include brands, agencies and media companies. The CMO Summit agenda features:

— Keynote address: Richard Edelman, President/CEO, Edelman

— DishLATINO – A 360-View of the Nation’s No. 1 US Hispanic Advertiser’s #SigueHaciendola Campaign
