The 2010 Hispanic Business Showcase announced today that San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) and U.S. Bank will be the official sponsors of the 2010 Hispanic Business Showcase September 10-11, 2010 at the San Diego Convention Center. As the official sponsors of the event, both companies proudly join a group of partners that have pledged to provide world-class expertise to help showcase the best Hispanic small business and technology-focused businesses at this spectacular event.

“This forward-thinking event will have much to offer Hispanic businesses in the way of how to use social media to increase their business success and what technology industries are expanding,” said Ted Reguly, director of smart meter for SDG&E. “SDG&E is installing smart meters to all 1.4 million of our customers and they are excited about the benefits this technology will provide them – like controlling their energy costs by being able to see their energy usage online.”

The two-day Showcase, which will include a technology exhibition will be the largest Hispanic-focused business and technology trade show in San Diego Convention Center history.

"U.S. Bank is proud to support small businesses as the official sponsor of the 2010 Hispanic Business Showcase,” said Hector Zatarain, San Diego Regional Manager Business Banking at U.S. Bank. U.S. Bank is a partner to Hispanic families and to businesses of all sizes.”

The inaugural Showcase will expand the Hispanic market frontier by providing a venue for businesses to enhance their relationships, research the market for the leading products and services, and learn about the latest best business practices.

“We are proud of our partnership with these outstanding organizations who contribute so much to the quality of life in our community,” said Tayde Aburto, President of the Hispanic Chamber of E-Commerce (HISCEC), host of the event. “U.S. Bank works in partnership with hundreds of organizations across the country to foster economic revitalization. We are equally proud to have SDG&E as a sponsor, which has been a long-time supporter of the Hispanic business community and uses many local Hispanic businesses and vendors. Together we'll be able to energize these small business businesses in a way that has never been done before.”
