MIAMI, Feb. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Meredith Corporation's PEOPLE en Español unveils program highlights, talent lineup, and sponsors for the Poderosas LIVE! 2020 conference scheduled for March 13-14, 2020 at the James L. Knight Center in Miami, FL.

Tied to the brand's "25 Most Powerful Women'' franchise, the two-day women's empowerment conference brings together powerful Latina business women, community leaders, activists, and celebrities to propel the momentum and progress that women continue to reach for - as their voice continues to play a crucial role in the future of America. As Latinas are poised to become the new majority in the business realm, PEOPLE en Español has focused this year's theme around providing a clear vision for the future –  a unique and necessary discussion especially given the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment in 2020 which guaranteed and protected a woman's constitutional right to vote.

New highlights this year include the previously announced all-new career fair that is taking place during the day at Poderosas LIVE!, and the return of the progressive Poderosas PRO track, a two-day networking experience event for professional and managerial-level Latinas that offers exclusive masterclasses to further develop industry skills.

PEOPLE en Español is proud to recognize Neutrogena, which is returning for its fourth year, along with Macy's, and Planned Parenthood, who are also returning to Poderosas LIVE! 2020 as sponsors. Media partners for the conference include CNN en Español and Spanish Broadcasting System (SBS).
