Big Vision 2026 - The Small Business & Community Exchange

This summer, Orlando's small business community takes over Downtown for the inaugural Big Vision - Small Business & Community Exchange, and you do not want to miss it! Join us for a full day built for the people who make this city move: the founders chasing the next big idea, the small business owners pouring everything into their craft, the makers, the creatives, the shoppers, and everyone who believes that supporting local is how a community grows stronger.

From the moment you walk in, you'll be surrounded by the businesses, ideas, and people shaping the future of Central Florida! Every corner of the event is designed to help you discover something new, meet someone worth knowing, and leave with the kind of momentum that carries into everything you do next.

This is for Orlando, by Orlando!

407 Marketplace is a curated showcase of the small businesses putting Orlando on the map, where you can shop their products, learn their stories, and support the local makers and brands defining our city's creative and entrepreneurial scene!

Connections Café is where the real relationships get built, offering structured networking that goes far beyond swapping business cards and connects you directly with the people driving Orlando forward.

The Founders Lounge is our VIP experience, home to exclusive breakouts and workshops designed to give founders the tools, insight, and access they need to grow, all in an elevated space built for the people ready to take their next big step!
