Indiana Latino Economic Development Conference Set for October.


An Indiana Latino Economic Development Conference will be held from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. 24 October at the Indiana Government Conference Center, 402 West Washington Street, Indianapolis.

Strategic partners for the conference are the Indiana Governor's Office, Indiana Economic Development Corporation, Ivy Tech Community College, Indiana Commission on Hispanic/Latino Affairs, Purdue Cooperative Extension Services, Indiana State Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Indiana Statewide Latino Hispanic Association and others.

Keynote presentations will include Governor Daniels, former Indiana Secretary of Commerce Mickey Mauer; former Ivy Tech President, Gerald Lamkin; John Klipsch, Executive Director for the Indiana Stadium and Convention Building Authority; Gary Gibson, Indianapolis Airport Authority and Earl Goode, Commissioner of Major Moves.
