A Who's Who of the nation's most influential Latino and multicultural bloggers will take center stage at Hispanicize 2013 as part of 22 blogger-focused sessions that were announced today.

Hispanicize 2013, the fourth annual Latino trends event set for April 9-13 in Miami Beach, is a partnership of the Hispanic Public Relations Association (HPRA) and the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA).

"Hispanicize 2013 is on track to obliterate last year's event with more bloggers, brands and agencies converging to meet each other than ever before," said Manny Ruiz, founder and creative director of Hispanicize 2013. "We know that bloggers and brands depend on this platform to connect with each other so that's why this year's program is more comprehensive and more entertaining than last year's event. We are significantly raising the bar on ourselves."

Among the long list of this year's top blogs and social media influencers are: Pili Montilla; Curves and Chaos/Blogs By Latinas; Charles P. Garcia; Latino Rebels; Hispanic Kitchen; Ted Rubin; Mama Contemporanea; Spanglish Baby/Latina Bloggers Connect; Cuponeando/Las Blogueras; Latina Mom Bloggers; Juan of Words; Brotha Tech; Mocha Dad; Sazon Boricua; DigiBunch/Being Latino; The Wise Latina Club; Mamiverse; Presley's Pantry; Latino Foodie; and Nibbles & Feast;

Hispanicize 2013 has organized blogger sessions into three categories: 1. blogger to brand panels, 2. entrepreneurship sessions, and 3. blogger to blogger professional development workshops/ trainings.

In the spirit of putting bloggers high on the event's agenda, bloggers will get major red carpet treatment with VIP access to celebrities, high-end giveaways, film premieres, music concerts and a Second Annual Latino Blogger Yacht Party. The event schedule is purposely packed daily with top quality sessions that make it hard for bloggers to choose which days they to attend.

Even though the blogger portion of the event is unprecedented for its size it only represents a portion of the more than 90 sessions and 260 speakers that will be announced relating to trends and trendsetters in social media, music, public relations, advertising, media, filmmaking. The event's remaining agenda will be unveiled in the next two successive weeks.
