Latin Music Month™ (LMM) today announced the first wave of speakers for its 2026 conference, returning to Los Angeles for an expanded two-day edition on September 30 and October 1 at the Luckman Fine Arts Complex.
Among the first confirmed participants are GRAMMY® and Latin GRAMMY®-winning artist Chiquis; Pepe Garza; Agushto Papa; Yvonne Drazan of peermusic; Juan Tapia of Double P Records; and artist manager José Luis Cornejo of RAI Ensemble, representing key voices across the artist, streaming, publishing, label and management ecosystem.
Built around the ethos “Engage, Educate, Entertain” Latin Music Month™ is positioning itself as a distinctly Los Angeles gathering for the artists, executives, entrepreneurs and emerging talent shaping the global Latin music industry.
Following its inaugural edition, which reached more than 3 million people across social platforms, the 2026 conference is expected to welcome 600+ attendees for two days of programming, live performances, awards and industry conversations.
At a time when Latin music continues to drive global culture, LMM aims to establish Los Angeles as a central meeting point for the community behind the music, creating space for meaningful connection across generations and sectors of the industry.
“Latin music is one of the most powerful cultural forces in the world, yet Los Angeles has gone far too long without a signature industry gathering that truly belongs to this community,” said Richard Bull, co-founder of Latin Music Month™. “Latin Music Month is about bringing the people behind the music together in a way that feels authentic to Los Angeles. We want people to be entertained, but also to leave with greater industry knowledge, new skills, meaningful business opportunities, and a stronger connection to the community.”
More than a traditional conference, Latin Music Month™ is designed as a community gathering where business meets artistry, fostering collaboration between established leaders and the next generation of talent.
Additional speakers, programming, performances, awards and special events will be announced in the coming weeks.
