The LGBT Business Expo is a B2B and consumer event targeting all elements of the LGBT community. Designed to maximize networking business and educational opportunities, the event has continually grown since its inaugural event in 2011 in Puerto Vallarta, doubling in scale with its 2012 edition in Cancun and continued its growth in 2013's International LGBT Business Expo in Guadalajara, Mexico and 2014’s edition in Vallarta-Nayarit.
In 2015, education presentations and workshops will be included from many leading global LGBT thought-leaders focusing in the platforms: Tourism, Corporate, Film, Academic, Entrepreneurs, Technology, and Media. It will also present a new academic platform entitled "International Congress on Sexual Diversity Studies" inviting leading researchers from universities worldwide.
LGBT Confex will be working with the city of Yucatan, its tourism and convention bureau, local entrepreneurs targeting the LGBT consumer and the State of Yucatan to feature the diversity of activities and services that the city has to offer for the LGBT Consumer.
CEO of LGBT Confex, Ruben Sandoval, said "We are very pleased and excited to have Merida as our host city for the Fifth Edition of the LGBT Business Expo as the city embodies Mexico’s Pre-Hispanic, Colonial and contemporary realities. It is a city unique in Mexico and one that has embraced the LGBT community.”
