The summit sold out, prompting us to expand the venue, add more seating, increase catering orders, and re-open ticket sales. Remarkably, it sold out again, highlighting the tremendous demand for a space dedicated to Latina entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe overwhelming support we received confirms that Latinas are a formidable force in our community,\u201d says Christina Fern\u00e1ndez-Morrow, editor-in-chief of JEFAS Magazine. \u201cThis event was more than just a conference; it was the beginning of a movement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As we continue to build this dynamic community of Latina entrepreneurs in the Midwest, we invite you and your company to partner with us in fostering this growing movement.
