HACE Summit 1

In a world where AI and emerging technologies are reshaping industries, the ability to think and act like an entrepreneur is more important than ever—not just for startup founders but for those driving change within established organizations. This session explores the dual pathways of entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship, with a focus on how professionals can harness technology to innovate while ensuring inclusivity and equity in the process. Participants will learn how to leverage AI and tech tools to drive transformation, create inclusive workplaces, and develop business models that promote equitable opportunities for all.

This session explores how companies can create partnerships with Latino and diverse communities to build talent pipelines that address workforce gaps and develop future leaders. Panelists will share strategies for engaging with educational institutions, and advocacy groups to provide mentorship, skill-building opportunities, and career development programs that benefit the workplace environment.

Panelists will discuss how online storytelling, social media, and virtual communities have been used to bridge gaps in remote work, create meaningful connections, and amplify underrepresented voices. The session will highlight both the challenges and opportunities of building authentic relationships in a digital space while maintaining cultural identity and promoting inclusion in spaces such as employee/business resource groups.
