What is Expo Negocio 2023?
On Thursday, November 9, 2023, the Latino Business Alliance in partnership with Energy Trust of Oregon and the City of Keizer will celebrate the Annual Expo Negocio!
This bilingual event aims to strengthen our community by providing educational opportunities for both Latino and Non-Latino business owners – and the community in general – to develop diverse intercultural relationships. This conference will include keynote speakers, small business workshops, a large array of exhibitor booths, and excellent opportunities to network.
This year’s location is the Keizer Civic Center at 930 Chemawa Rd. NE in Keizer, OR 97303.
Why Attend?
Latino-owned businesses are the fastest-growing sector of the U.S. economy, creating jobs and economic growth across the country. Expo Negocio 2023 provides new ideas on how to create economic opportunities for your community and business by attending workshops from business owners, government representatives, and community leaders.
Who Should Attend?
This event is PERFECT for anyone interested in starting a new venture, improving their current business, or fostering stronger relationships within the Latino business community.
