The Somos El Futuro Legislative Conference brings together nearly 7,000 New Yorkers who represent a
cross section of the state’s Hispanic community, including federal, state, and local elected officials as well
as community, labor, and business leaders. With its mission to provide a forum for the development of legislative
and budgetary initiatives of concern to Hispanic communities throughout the state, the conference also serves as
a stage to acknowledge the significant contributions of Hispanics. This is achieved through workshops, seminars
and policy institutes and special forums. (*This is a preliminary agenda. Times, dates, locations and topics
are subject to change.)
