The Latino Midwest examines the history, education, literature, art, and politics of Latinos in the Midwest in light of the demographic changes experienced by states in this region with growing Latino populations. It aims to explore the changing demographics and dynamics of Latino communities in Iowa, and to strengthen the responsiveness of policy makers, business leaders, and community organizations.

The event has become a cherished gathering of Latinos and non-Latinos as a place to emphasize strengths of Latino culture and to provide networking opportunities for Latino leaders in Iowa.
