(LULAC), the largest and oldest Latino civil rights organization in the U.S.,

National Convention and Exposition [ [link removed] ] today set
to take place in Las Vegas, Nevada from June 26 – June 29, 2024 at the Caesars

This year’s theme, “Empowering the Next Generation,” will focus on positioning,

onsite education opportunities such as the LULAC Academy and in-depth
conversations on topics that impact Latinos, including economic empowerment,
health and wellness, technology/AI, and immigration.
This year we will also be hosting two clinics in collaboration with the U.S.
Soccer Foundation and Coalition for Immigrant Freedom. In partnership with the
U.S. Soccer Foundation, we will host a mini pitch activation with U.S. Soccer
Foundation trainers giving mini soccer clinics for conference participants and
providing information about youth programming opportunities. In a collaboration
with the Coalition for Immigrant Freedom, we will host several immigration
activations, including providing participants with free one-on-one legal
consultations with immigration attorneys and DOJ-accredited paralegals on a range
of immigration issues.
“We are pleased to announce our 2024 National Convention lineup of speakers and
panelists and thank them for bringing this year’s event to life. I am confident
these individuals will help set the tone for an incredible week of progress and
growth as we come together to achieve our mission of advancing the economic
condition, educational attainment, political influence, housing, health, and
