FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

“The International LGBT Business Expo is so important to the whole Latin America region,” Sandoval says. “To see so many of the world’s leading business specialists in understanding the needs of LGBT people is both gratifying and powerful. There are more than 20 million LGBT people in our region and so it matters a great deal to them - and the businesses that support our event - that their needs become better understood and that companies learn how those needs can differ from the mainstream”.

The Expo takes place in Guadalajara, Mexico from September 5 - 7 and is being supported by many of the world’s leading businesses.

Sandoval announced a number of new supporters including American Express plus workplace rights group Out & Equal - who join existing supporters American Airlines, IBM, Mexico Tourism Board, Secretary of Tourism Jalisco, Mundo Cuervo, GayFriendly.travel, Copa Airlines, Westin Guadalajara Hotel and the world’s leading LGBT marketing specialists Out Now Global -- http://www.outnowconsulting.com

Premier Sponsor of the Expo is Out Now who will release new Latin American research findings from their latest Out Now Global LGBT2020 Study - the world’s largest LGBT research program. CEO of Out Now, Ian Johnson, said his company is looking forward to the LGBT Confex event in September.

“This year, Out Now celebrates 21 years of specialist expertise in understanding and meeting the business needs of LGBT people,” Johnson said. “There are many organizations now who pretend an expertise in connecting business with consumers, but in Latin America there is only one international forum that counts and is genuinely focused on mutual success for LGBT people and the businesses that wish to serve them. LGBT Confex is now the undisputed leader in this in Latin America and Out Now is delighted to partner with them and to bring the findings of our latest LGBT2020 research to present in Guadalajara in two months from now.”
