Co-founder of NAHREP, Gary Acosta, Unveils A Transformative Event Platform for Entrepreneurs, Investors, and Visionaries

AVANCE Global presents ProXimo, Empowering a New Generation of Trailblazers

SAN DIEGO, December 3, 2024 – Gary Acosta, the visionary Co-founder and CEO of the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals® (NAHREP®), one of the country’s most influential  business and wealth-building organizations, will launch a groundbreaking event platform that will blaze a trail for the business mindset around power and wealth.

AVANCE Global is poised to become the ultimate event platform for innovation, success, and business acumen. It promises unparalleled networking opportunities and transformative dialogue with leaders across all sectors. Building on Acosta’s legacy with the celebrated L’ATTITUDE, a seven-year industry-leading event co-produced with media and business icons Sol Trujillo, Emilio Estefan, and Oscar Muñoz, the upcoming platform’s inaugural event ProXimo will showcase “the best and the next” in business and entrepreneurship, real estate, tech, sports, media, finance and venture, and building family wealth and legacy, through the lens of America's multi-cultural community. It will celebrate the brilliance of innovators, from hidden moguls to billionaires, showcasing their stories to inspire the nation.

“We’re not just creating an event; we’re creating a marketplace and a platform that empowers intrapreneurs and entrepreneurs and paves the way for generational wealth,” said Acosta.

A Dynamic and Diverse Experience

This one-of-a-kind event will feature specialized content tracks from NAHREP, the National Hispanic Construction Alliance (NHCA), the Hispanic Wealth Project (HWP), and the Association for the Advancement of Multi-Cultural Leaders in Sports (AVANCE Sports), with more tracks to be announced soon. Each conference will offer in-depth insights into real estate careers, investing, private equity, venture capital, technology, social media, sports, and the entertainment industry, both in front of and behind the camera, creating images of people worldwide.

ProXimo, presented by AVANCE Global, will take place in San Diego from September 18 - 21, 2025, with an expected attendance of over 6,000 individuals from across the U.S., Spain, and Latin America. With a strong focus on wealth-building and family succession, the event will inspire and empower entrepreneurs, ensuring they leave with actionable strategies to build, preserve, and pass on their wealth. The event will also include a Spanish language track geared to many immigrant entrepreneurs who have sacrificed everything to come to America, bringing innovation and an indomitable desire to succeed.

An Unmatched Event for Empowerment and Opportunity

NAHREP is raising the bar for entrepreneurs, creating a high-energy, best-in-class event where relationships are forged, deals are made, dreams are realized, and bridges are built with our African American, Asian, and South Asian communities. Whether you’re a seasoned entrepreneur, a corporate intrapreneur, or an aspiring business owner, this platform promises to be an unmissable opportunity to accelerate success, build community, and shape a legacy that endures.
