Preparing for its return to Los Angeles for an expanded two-day edition on September 30 and October 1 at the Luckman Fire Complex, LA Latin Music Month™ (LMM) has announced its first wave of speakers for its 2026 conference. 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 sectors.

Latin Music Month continues to position itself as a unique Los Angeles gathering for the artists, executives, and entrepreneurs shaping the global Latin Music Industry, following the ethos of “Engage, Educate, Entertain.” Richard Bull, co-founder of Latin Music Month, says it’s 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 leave with greater industry knowledge.” LMM aims to establish Los Angeles as a music meeting point, focusing on the community behind the music and fostering connections across generations and sectors of the industry.

More than just a music month, LMM continues to grow as a designed community gathering where business meets artistry, allowing collaboration between established leaders and the next generation of talent. Its inaugural edition reached more than 3 million people across social platforms, and it only continues to grow. The 2026 conference is expected to welcome 600+ attendees for two fully packed days of programming, awards, and industry connections.

Additional speakers, programming, performances, awards, and special events will be announced in the coming weeks.
