2005 NCLR ANNUAL CONFERENCE FEATURING LATINO EXPO USA

July 16-19, 2005Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

About the Conference

For more than 25 years, the NCLR Annual Conference

has been the largest and most important gathering

of the nation’s most influential individuals and

organizations working with the Hispanic community.

The Conference has grown with its gente, providing

a forum for people in the business of social change

to learn about ongoing and emerging issues in the

Hispanic community, connect with key community

leaders, and generate partnerships with Hispanic

community-based organizations. The Conference

is the meeting ground for over 23,000 community

organization leaders, activists, and volunteers; elected

and appointed officials; members of the corporate,

philanthropic, and academic communities; senior

citizens; college students; and youth.

The NCLR Annual Conference consists of four days of the

most on-point and cutting-edge workshops addressing

critical issues in the Hispanic community, five key meal

events before an audience of 2,000, and presentations

from speakers of national and international prominence.

Past NCLR Annual Conference keynote speakers:

Senator John Kerry (D-MA)

Ken Lewis, President/CEO Bank of America

Michael Dell, CEO Dell Computer Corporation

Then-Governor of Texas George W. Bush

President of Mexico Vicente Fox

President Bill Clinton

Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle

Vice President Al Gore

Former President of Mexico Ernesto Zedillo

First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton

The Conference also features special events

connecting communities around a specific program

or issue, such as the Diabetes Dash, Helen Rodríguez-

Trias Health Reception, Education Training Institutes,

among others. And it isn’t all work. The NCLR Annual

Conference is known for delivering top-notch talent,

giving attendees exposure to star performances and

leaving them with lasting memories.

A significant feature of the Conference is the Latino

Expo USA, the largest Hispanic consumer show in the

country attracting 15,000 to 20,000 people to an expo

with over 300 displays from corporations, government

agencies, and community-based organizations.

The Latino Expo USA is a truly unique venue where

companies and organizations can build and enhance

their relationship with Latino consumers, a fast-

growing market with a reputation for brand loyalty.

It is mutually agreed that it is the duty and responsibility of each Exhibitor to arrange for the installation and dismantling of its exhibits, before and immediately after the close of the exhibition. NCLR reserves the right to assign the space(s) to any other party if a company representative is not present by 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, July 16, 2005 to make arrangements for the installation, or if necessary labor has not been ordered, unless permission is granted by NCLR’s Exhibits Coordinator or designated representative.

4. Exhibit Space Transfer: If an Exhibitor has requested to transfer its booth space from the Latino Expo USA to either of the Fairs, regardless of the amount of space allotted in its sponsorship package, that Exhibitor may utilize only one 10 x 10 space. Additional booth space in the Fairs must be purchased. There are no exceptions to this rule.
