Washington, D.C.  — Dialogue on Diversity kicks off Hispanic Heritage Month September 15 in Washington with its twenty second Entrepreneurship - IT Conference.  The Hispanic Heritage season runs each year from September 15^th to October 15^th.  This year the Conference is to be staged at the Pepco Edison Place Gallery, at 702 Eighth Street, N.W., in Washington.  Partnering with the Gallery, presenting its displays of works by young artists with great creative flair, Dialogue on Diversity has designed an important all-day agenda embracing a full range of essential themes, all deeply embedded in the work of American entrepreneurs.  The twin themes of technology, its boons and its attendant perils, and of the entrepreneurial calling, art and science intertwined, recur throughout the segments the day’s agenda.

The Conference targets an audience of women entrepreneurs and professionals, staff of civil society organizations and public agencies concerned with women’s end ethnic-owned enterprises, and others interested in the policy aspects of the U.S. economy – all should plan to take part in this important presentation.  Announcing the Conference, Ma. Cristina Caballero, the Dialogue’s President/CEO, noted “The creativity and the sheer energy of the small, diverse business sector is what prods the mega firms and at once propels the advances of technology and strategic investment. It is the engine that will offer major help in bringing the entire economy back to full speed.”

The 2014 Conference agenda centers, first,  on the task of integrating the capabilities of cutting edge technologies in the arsenal of business management and marketing tools,  and, second, on the education of the twenty-first century entrepreneur    —  the continuing learning from the information and advisory services of public agencies and private organizations mediating the techniques developed by both industry and  academia.
