Co-founders of Listo Calisto realize the lack of representation, network and cohesive community amongst Latinos and begin to organize the inaugural Latin Forum.
Today
After many months of organizing and effort, the inaugural Latin Forum takes place on July 17, 2024. The team decides to turn Listo Calisto into a non-profit organization to bring together and amplify the Latin community. The second Latin Forum took place October 8, 2025.
