Business leaders say they’re prepared to shine when the city hosts two major Latino events in 2026. The League of United Latin American Citizens convention will take place from June 17-20, and the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce convention will be held from Sept. 14-16. Fort Worth has already secured its spot on the national spotlight after the city’s Hispanic Chamber of Commerce won the bid to host these events.
Fort Worth is eager to showcase its business-friendly environment and opportunities for Hispanic entrepreneurs. The city aims to highlight small businesses, provide networking platforms, and attract investments. Mayor Mattie Parker praised the chamber’s efforts, saying they’ll bring national attention and strengthen local economic development.
The Fort Worth Hispanic Chamber of Commerce has seen significant growth and success in recent years, including expanding its membership, launching a Business and Learning Resource Center, and providing numerous resources for entrepreneurs. These achievements will help the city make a strong impression during the conventions. With 40% of residents being Hispanic and the city’s rapid growth, Fort Worth is poised to demonstrate its commitment to diversity and opportunity.
As the city prepares to welcome these events, leaders emphasize their readiness to act, innovate, and create opportunities for all. The event will highlight Fort Worth’s transformation into a leader in technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship, making it an attractive destination for businesses and investors alike.
