Latinos In Transit (LIT) is gearing up for its highly anticipated annual Leadership Summit, taking place Sept. 12 to 14, in Portland, Ore.
This year’s Summit will not only feature an expanded program but will also introduce an exciting new addition to its lineup – Cafe Con LIT: Live from the Summit, sponsored by Sound Transit.
Cafe Con LIT (CCL) is LIT’s monthly virtual talk show, held every third Friday at 9 a.m. PDT.
It features rotating guests who discuss key public transportation topics and foster vital conversations for the industry.
For the first time ever, this program will be livestreamed with an in-person audience during the Summit, bringing an interactive component to its well-established virtual platform.
In an effort to ensure inclusivity, access to the livestream will be free, enabling virtual audiences to tune in, interact, and experience this special session regardless of location.
The event is open to both LIT members and non-members alike.
“We are very excited to have our very first live Cafe Con LIT,” said Herold Humphrey, LIT’s board president. “It has always been our goal to make our programming affordable and accessible to as many people as possible. Our Summit registration rates are among the most affordable, and now, offering the live stream allows even more people to be part of this incredible event.”
Cafe Con LIT: Live from the Summit will take place on Friday, Sept. 13, with the livestream beginning at 8:45 AM PDT. The featured speakers include:
Moises Gutierrez, Deputy CEO of Sound Transit
Osvaldo “Ozzie” Gonzalez, Immediate Past Board President for TriMet

Registration for the live stream is now open.
