I attended Hispanicize recently and was honored to speak at the Tech Bloggers session. Here are some of the highlights of the conference.<\/p>\n

Cristy Clavijo-Kish with Yolanda Pagan when they announced the Memorial Scholarship fund for Louis Pagan\u2019s children. Louis Pagan was the co-founder of Hispanicize and one of the first people I met on the Latism Twitter parties. He was such a nice man who inspired many Latinos in the blogosphere and social media. Unfortunately, he passed away unexpectedly a few months ago. This was a very emotional tear jerking moment since Yolanda, his widow and children came on to the stage.<\/p>\n
