GANAS Inaugural Summit + Expo

Be part of a movement where Latino tech innovation meets opportunity!

The GANAS Summit+Expo 2025 is more than an event—it’s a launchpad for LatinX talent in tech. We’re creating real opportunities for students, professionals, and innovators to break barriers, connect with industry leaders, and turn bold ideas into action.

Hosted by LatinX Digital Leaders Now (LDLN), this annual gathering unites visionary leaders, emerging student entrepreneurs, corporate executives, and university stakeholders to drive LatinX representation and leadership in the tech industry.

This event is a collaboration between three Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), Roosevelt University, Dominican University, Illinois Tech (emerging HSI), and local organizations to enhance IT infrastructure and digital fluency within the Hispanic community.
