Here’s just a few of the MANY testimonials we’ve received from those who’ve attended:

Huge thanks for an insightful presentation that really resonated with where I am in my journey.” - Yamina Marlow, Creative Lead and Branding Specialist, Yami Creative

- “OrlandoPreneur’s 3-year anniversary tonight brought a packed room of entrepreneurial spirit - founders, small business owners, support organizations and investors, together for meaningful conversations and collaboration. Credit to them for sustaining this long enough for it to become infrastructure, not just an event. Nights like this compress time. They move relationships and ideas forward faster than weeks of emails ever could.” - Scott Hill, Founder, Proxenia Accelerators
