HACR Symposium
and Inclusión Gala

New York Marriott Marquis,
Times Square
Celebrating 40 years of advancing inclusion
in Corporate America
The 2026 HACR Symposium brings together CEOs, C-suite executives, board directors, and business leaders for two days of forward-looking conversations on the trends, strategies, and leadership practices shaping the future of business.
As organizations navigate economic uncertainty, technological disruption, evolving workforce dynamics, and changing customer expectations, attendees will explore how leading companies are driving growth, strengthening competitiveness, and building organizations prepared for what's next.
Through executive discussions on the economy, geopolitics, innovation, artificial intelligence, data, leadership, governance, workforce transformation, and emerging market opportunities, participants will gain practical insights and actionable strategies to lead with confidence, accelerate organizational performance, and position their organizations for long-term success.
As the nation's leading forum at the intersection of Hispanic talent, consumer trends, and corporate strategy, the HACR Symposium also offers a distinctive perspective on one of the defining business opportunities of the coming decade. Through data-driven insights and executive dialogue, attendees will explore how America's evolving workforce and marketplace are creating new pathways for innovation, talent, and sustainable growth—equipping leaders to compete and thrive in the next economy.
Close out Hispanic Heritage Month in style at the HACR Inclusión Gala— a white-tie celebration marking HACR’s 40th year and four decades of advancing inclusion across Corporate America.
This milestone evening honors the changemakers and executives shaping a more equitable future, while bringing together business and community for powerful storytelling, meaningful recognition, and a shared celebration of what’s possible when inclusion is the standard.
The HACR Inclusión Gala is on October 21, 2026.
