Event Information
Description
The Aspen Institute Latinos and Society Program is heading to Chicago for our next America’s Future Summit: Unlocking Potential, Advancing Prosperity. Join us for cutting-edge conversations on the relationship between Latino economic advancement and America's prosperity. Latinos, already 18% of the US population, offer many potential gains to the US economy but still face many challenges. Latino GDP is $2.13 trillion dollars; if it were a country it would be the seventh largest in the world, yet household income remains low and the wealth gap high. The Summit will demonstrate the importance of a collective response to ensuring Latinos and all Americans can have the opportunity to reach their full potential, while uplifting inspirational leaders and promising pathways to success in Chicago and across the country.
Panel Conversations will include:
Reimagining Ecosystems for Entrepreneurship
A Workforce that Works: Skills, Jobs, and Mobility
Moving Up, Not Out: A conversation on Gentrification
Note that breaks will take place in the middle of the day for lunch and working groups.

The Aspen Institute founded the Latinos and Society Program in order to bring Latinos and non-Latinos together to learn about their shared future and jointly explore solutions to the challenges of our times, particularly in the areas of civic participation, economic advancement and educational opportunity. It connects Latino leaders to Aspen Institute programs and networks, fostering collaborations that contribute to a more informed and inclusive vision of America.
