Ruben Sandoval, CEO of LGBT Confex said his company is delighted to see so many participants getting ready to participate in the event which is focused on connecting business with lesbians, gay men, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people.

“We are so grateful for the support of our exhibitors, our sponsors, our delegates and our conference presenters,” Sandoval says. "We have all been working for a whole year to bring this event to Guadalajara here in Jalisco state this year. It has grown so much since we launched three years ago and we are really looking forward to welcoming the local LGBT community in Guadalajara to discover how much is on offer for them. They can plan a holiday, check out the latest technology and media, as well as enter to win the great prizes our exhibitors are offering to visitors. There is a packed program on offer and the whole team at LGBT Confex is excited to be bringing the International LGBT Business Expo to Guadalajara next week.

Premier Sponsor of the Expo is Out Now http://www.outnowconsulting.com who will present an Opening Keynote to conference delegates covering the latest LGBT business developments globally as well as release new preliminary Mexico 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 very much to participating in the LGBT Confex event in Guadalajara this September.

 “We connected with LGBT Confex at their first event back in 2011 in Puerto Vallarta,” Johnson says. “It is quite inspiring to watch the substantial growth that has taken place since then. This is due to a number of factors. Out Now last year identified the Latin America region as the key region globally for growth in LGBT market development over the next three years at least, so this event is tapping into a definite trend in the region. More than that though - and arguably most importantly - the effort, dedication and professionalism of the LGBT Confex team is key to this event being on track to being such a success this year. We have worked closely with the LGBT Confex team and it is a most inspiring thing to be a part of. Out Now is looking forward to being part of the event next week and I am personally looking forward to meeting as many delegates as possible.”
