LTW 2026 starts here. Every June, thousands of founders, investors, and operators descend on New York for NY Tech Week. Latino Tech Week runs as a satellite format during that same week, a way to organize, visualize, and unite the Latino diaspora across the week. Tapas & Cañas is how we open the week. Spanish-style tapas, cañas, and the people shaping Latino tech, all at a Michelin-star restaurant before the programming kicks off. No panels, no slides. Just the room you want to be in on day one.
