Des Moines, IA — Latina entrepreneurs are the fastest-growing segment of business owners in the U.S., yet continually face unique challenges that impact their financial, physical, and mental health. The Latina Business Excellence Summit (LBES) is proud to announce this year’s empowering theme: “Health: Intersecting Financial, Physical, and Mental Well-being.”
The 2025 LBES will bring together Latina entrepreneurs, professionals, and changemakers from across the region for a day dedicated to whole-person wellness as the foundation for thriving in business and life. Attendees will explore strategies to strengthen their finances, care for their bodies, and prioritize their mental health, all within a culturally relevant framework.
“This theme speaks directly to our community’s needs,” said Erika Macias, cofounder of the LBES. “You can’t run a business if you’re burnt out, struggling silently, or lacking the tools to build financial security. When Latina professionals are supported in all three areas of health, their potential is limitless.”
Attendees will explore strategies to strengthen their finances, care for their bodies, and prioritize their mental health—while also building lasting connections with like-minded women.
Highlights of the Latina Excellence Summit include:
- Dynamic panels
- Keynote speakers
- Engaging workshops
- Networking opportunities
“I’ve attended a lot of conferences/seminars/summits over the years, and it’s a rare one indeed that leaves me feeling more motivated and energized after I leave,” noted Breann Bye about her experience at the inaugural Latina Business Excellence Summit in 2024. “This was definitely one of the rare ones!”
The first Latina Business Excellence Summit sold out in days. Although the 2025 event is in a larger space, it is anticipated to sell out quickly.
