The expansive scope of the event reflects the unprecedented commercial and cultural reach that Latin music commands on the international stage today. Last month, during an official press conference where the primary program details were first unveiled alongside the mayor of Miami-Dade, Leila Cobo, Billboard’s co-chief content officer, emphasized the historic moment the genre is currently experiencing.
“Latin music has never been so global, so rich, so nuanced and so widely listened to as right now,” Cobo stated during the preview. She added that introducing the comprehensive programming lineup in the acknowledged capital of Latin music brought an immense sense of pride to the organizing team, noting that together with local leadership, they have successfully built an enduring cultural movement that they are eager to share with both the local community and the global audience.
Taking place from October 19 to October 22 at the Faena Forum Miami Beach, the 2026 iteration of Billboard Latin Music Week will once again function as a dynamic, multi-faceted platform designed to celebrate the core pulse of Latin music and its widespread cultural influence. The meticulously curated schedule features a packed itinerary comprising deep-dive artist conversations, industry panels, intimate live performances, hands-on workshops, immersive brand activations, and invaluable networking opportunities designed to foster collaboration within the global music community.
The culmination of Latin Music Week directly coincides with another cornerstone event on the industry calendar: the 2026 Billboard Latin Music Awards. Set to take place on Thursday, October 22, the prestigious awards ceremony will broadcast live to millions of viewers on Telemundo and stream concurrently on Peacock, honoring the biggest chart-toppers, breakout stars, and enduring legends of the past year.
Registration and ticketing for Billboard Latin Music Week are currently open, with passes available for purchase directly through the official event website.
