La Revista Binacional was one of the media sponsors of the USHCC National Conference 2023 in Orlando Florida.
On September 24, we went to Florida and got to experience an amazing event where thousands of businesses got together to network, learn, grow their potential clients, listen to keynote speakers, all of this while also having a very good time.

One of the ‘takeaways’ La Revista Binacional experienced was how important it is to be part of not only your local Hispanic Chamber of Commerce but also the USHCC.
Joining a chamber of commerce can be important for several reasons:
Networking: Chambers provide a platform for businesses to connect with one another. This can lead to valuable contacts, partnerships, and business opportunities. Building a professional network is essential for business growth.
Advocacy: Chambers often advocate for the collective interests of local businesses. They represent their members’ concerns to local government, helping to shape policies and regulations that affect businesses in the area.
Credibility: Membership in a chamber can enhance your business’s credibility. It shows that you are committed to the local community and its economic well-being, which can attract customers who prefer to support chamber-affiliated businesses.
Visibility: Chambers promote their members, which can increase your business’s visibility in the community. This may include listings in chamber directories, participation in events, and opportunities for sponsored advertising.
Business Support: Chambers often offer resources and support to help businesses grow. This may include educational workshops, seminars, and access to information on market trends and industry insights.
Access to Resources: Chambers may provide members with access to resources such as group insurance plans, discounted advertising rates, and other cost-saving opportunities.
Community Involvement: Joining a chamber allows you to get involved in community events, philanthropic initiatives, and local causes. This can be personally rewarding and help improve your business’s public image.
Information Sharing: Chambers can serve as a valuable source of local information, economic data, and market research. They can keep you informed about important developments in your area.
Peer Learning: By interacting with other business owners and professionals, you can learn from their experiences and gain insights that can be applied to your own business.
Economic Growth: Chambers of commerce are often active in promoting the economic growth of the region, which benefits all businesses operating within that community.
It’s important to note that the specific benefits of joining a chamber of commerce can vary depending on the location and the chamber itself. Before joining, it’s a good idea to research the chamber and consider whether the benefits align with your business’s needs and goals.
La Revista Binacional is starting a long and fulfilling journey with the Hispanic Chambers of Commerce, as a bilingual, multi-cultural platform that serves as a tool to unify, promote, and create a networking community for your business.
