Canva Create event, Live online

This coming Thursday, April 10, you can follow the "Canva Create" event for free, live via the internet, where the visual design and communication platform Canva will present its new products and other innovations.

Canva has become one of the world's leading online design tools, with more than 220 million monthly active users.

Canva is a visual design and communication platform launched in 2013 whose mission "is to put the power of design within everyone's reach, so that anyone can design whatever they want and publish it wherever they want."

The event, which will be held at Hollywood Park, Los Angeles (United States), will be the largest one organized by Canva to date. It will feature more than 100 speakers, more than 60 sessions led by specialists, and more than 30 practical workshops. 

Canva Create is also the event where the Canva team connects with its user community.

Recently, Canva presented its report "The state of marketing and AI" in which it analyzes how artificial intelligence is affecting the marketing world globally and concludes that "the era of AI experimentation is over" and that "marketing teams are no longer just testing the waters, but are making strategic investments in generative AI to drive efficiency, creativity, and business impact."

The ranking of the 500 largest Latino Companies in the United States

Latino Leaders Magazine is a publication in the United States dedicated to highlighting and empowering Latino professionals and business leaders in the country. Founded in 2000, it is published bimonthly and reaches almost 250,000 readers, according to its editors.

In its most recent issue, which can be viewed as a digital replica on the magazine's website, Latino Leaders presents its Index 500, which provides data on the 500 largest Latino companies in the U.S. in 2025.

This year's ranking, which has reached its third edition, is topped by the online used car sales company Carvana. Other companies appearing in the top positions of the ranking include the construction company MasTec, the television network TelevisaUnivision, and the food company Goya.

This ranking aims to help showcase the economic influence and impact of Latino business ventures in the United States.

The largest Latino-owned businesses in the United States are primarily located in the states of California, Texas, and Florida.

The 500 companies in the ranking generate total revenues of $149 billion. The top 10 companies account for 42% of the total revenue, and more than 200 companies exceed $100 million in annual revenue.

The Latino or Hispanic population represents 19% of the total U.S. population.

Latino Leaders in Action is the title of the weekly newsletter that the magazine sends every Thursday.
