LATINO VERTICAL SUMMIT

The Latino Vertical Summit brings together the people shaping the next generation of vertical entertainment creators, talent, studios, platforms, producers, brands, technologists and investors for an immersive day at Casa NoHo Studios in Los Angeles.

Latino audiences, creators and storytelling are already embedded in the DNA of the vertical revolution. This Summit is designed to put that opportunity at the center of the conversation and bring together the people who can help define what comes next.

Presented by FUEGO Shorts, Casa NoHo Studios and The Workbook, the event will explore the rapidly growing world of vertical microdramas and short-form storytelling through conversations focused on:

• Novela DNA & the evolution of vertical storytelling
• Platforms + the Latino opportunity
• Hollywood Goes Vertical
• Latino talent, creators & casting
• In-Language vs. In-Culture
• AI and the future of vertical production
• U.S. Latinos vs. Latin America
• Black & Brown stories in the vertical ecosystem
