Join the largest celebration in the history of the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (USHCC): the 25th Annual National Convention and Business Expo, September 15-18, 2004, in Austin, Texas. Known as the largest networking event for Hispanic business leaders and chamber executives in the country, this year’s convention will celebrate 25 years of Hispanic entrepreneurship and its impact on our nation’s economy.

Serving as this year’s Honorary Co-Chairs are Gary Cowger, President of GM North America, and J. Terrence (“Terry”) Lanni, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of MGM MIRAGE. The Convention Host Chair is Massey Villarreal, USHCC Region III Board Member and President and CEO of Precision Task Group (PTG) in Houston, Texas.

Chamber executives, Fortune 500 business leaders and Hispanic elected officials will convene in Austin, Texas for four days of networking, discussion and information gathering. Through a series of business sessions, workshops and forums, participants will learn about some of the most critical concerns facing Hispanic business entrepreneurs today, such as how to gain access to contract opportunities and expand their business. Convention participants will also connect with corporate and government buyers, explore franchising opportunities, meet corporate and government recruiters, and learn from leading business experts about current economic business trends

Together with the Greater Austin Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and the Texas Association of Mexican Americans Chamber of Commerce (TAMACC), the USHCC convention promises to be a valuable opportunity for growth and expansion. 

The convention will include a two-day Expo, where attendees and the public will enjoy visiting more than 200 exhibitors comprised of major corporations, Hispanic and international enterprises, government agencies and educational institutions. The Expo will also feature a Youth & Career Pavilion that offers prospective job seekers an inside track on career choices for the future.
