Closing the Gap 2020

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

The Closing the Gap Conference (CTG2020) seeks to help Latino businesses adopt best practices that will help them scale up and perform at competitive levels.

In 2020, the week-long conference will feature business development opportunities through industry expert led breakouts and matchmaking sessions.
