Advancing Hispanic Representation in PR and Communications

October 8, 2025 5:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. (Eastern Daylight Time)

Join the Conversation That Can Shape the Future of Our Industry

Hispanics make up nearly 20% of the U.S. population and drive one of the most powerful consumer markets in the world, yet they remain significantly underrepresented in public relations and communications. If U.S. Latinos were a country, they’d rank among the top 5 economies in the world ($4.1 Trillion). Hispanic outreach is no longer a nice add-on; it’s a business imperative. These numbers make one thing clear: Representation matters.

This inspiring virtual summit brings together industry titans to discuss:

  • Proven strategies to attract and retain more Hispanic professionals.
  • The power of mentorship and allyship in advancing careers.
  • How Hispanic voices strengthen the future of communications.

Panelists:

  • Isabel Abislaiman, senior vice president and senior partner, FleishmanHillard
  • Michael Estevez, vice president, communications, Bristol Myers Squibb
  • Rosemary Mercedes, senior vice president, global communications, BBC Studios

Moderator: Stephen Chavez, president and CEO, ChavezPR
