SUMMARY:Spring 2026 2-Day Storytelling Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a 2 day event to learn how to tell your story. Storytelling is a powerful business tool that every entrepreneur needs to master.\n\n\nIgnite Your Business With Storytelling: 2 Day Experience\nWe are thrilled to announce this two day retreat opportunity for Florida based Veteran-led companies: Ignite Your Business With Storytelling on Friday\, January 16th and Saturday\, January 17\, 2026 at the National Entrepreneur Center. Seats are limited. \nStorytelling is a powerful business tool and a skill that every entrepreneur should seek to master. Unfortunately\, most of us struggle to communicate our business ideas\, visions\, and values when it comes to telling our stories. This lack of story cohesion confuses clients and prevents them from establishing an emotional connection with you and your brand. \nThis doesn’t have to be the case. \nOur Business Storytelling Retreat is a 2-day experience designed to teach you the power of storytelling and inspire you to confidently communicate the value you deliver to others. You’ll shape your experiences and ideas into engaging narratives and learn to deliver them with absolute clarity. \nBy attending our retreat\, you’ll learn how to: \n\nCraft stories that connect with others\nImplement a repeatable storytelling framework in your business\nCommunicate with other entrepreneurs about your ideas and experiences\nGain the confidence needed to share stories effectively\nApply your stories in real-world business scenarios\n\nYour story can make or break the relationships you build with your clients. Register now for a chance to tell your story the right way. Open to qualified veteran-led companies. Seats are very limited\, apply today: \nPresented By: Stan Miller\, Founder of Storicate \nWho: CEO or C-Suite Executive of a Veteran-Led Company \nWhen: January 16 and 17\, 2026 \nWhere: National Entreprenuer Center\, Orlando\, FL \nCost: Complementary for qualified Veteran-Led Companies\, thanks to our great partners \nNote: Lunch Provided \n2 Day Agenda: \n\nJanuary 16\, 2025\n10am-4pm – Day 1\n4pm-5:30pm – Networking Event\nJanuary 17\, 2025\n10am-4pm – Day 2\n\nAbout the presenter: Stan Miller \nI (Stan Miller) haven’t had a textbook career journey. When I started down the sales path working for a telecommunications giant\, I was coming in with no college education and no credentials. But humbling early life experiences have taught me the importance of an exceptional work ethic and instilled in me a strong desire to win\, bringing me to my current role as Founder of Storicate. (https://www.storicate.com/) \nCombining my background with what I’ve learned in my sales-centered experiences\, I’ve discovered a consistent\, critical piece of the process: storytelling. Whether you’re part of a company selling a service or figuring out the next step in your career timeline\, our stories are at the heart of everything we do; they’re who we are\, and how we communicate our value to others. \nDeveloping a framework to help people explain their career stories has become my passion. Why? Because I spent most of my life focused on experience\, education\, and accomplishments and none of it mattered if I couldn’t articulate it. I’ve provided support and guidance for over 3000 people – from recent college grads to C-Level executives – in my workshops and one-on-one coaching sessions. I’ve found a niche in helping people recognize their potential so that they can achieve greatness in their careers. \nFrom not knowing if college was ever going to be an option to graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Media Communications from Full Sail University in 2018\, from no experience to leadership positions\, it’s been rewarding to see my own narrative take shape. I’d love to hear your story and help you communicate it\, so let’s connect! \nLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stanmiller/ \nInsta/Facebook @careerstoryteller

SUMMARY:We Hate Code! The Joy of Maintaining Dead Code
DESCRIPTION:Orlando JUG (Java User Group)\n## We Hate Code! The Joy of Maintaining Dead Code\n* Do you love to maintain code that you didn’t wrote? Probably not! As systems grow and evolve\, the codebase inevitably accumulates clutter\, including unused or “dead” code. Often the developers who wrote that code are not even in the company anymore. So how do you know if the code is still used? Dead code can be confusing and it can be the source for vulnerabilities in your code base. So it is not only “legacy” code we have to deal with but also “dead” code and even so called “zombie” code.\n* This session will give you an overview over the common struggle with this types of code and it will try to give you an idea about the differences between those types of code and about tools like JaCoCo or OpenRewrite in combination with Intelligence Cloud\, that will help you to get rid of it.\n## Format\n* 6:30pm — Welcome & networking: **Pizza\, drinks and name tags will be provided—come hungry and ready to connect!**\n* 7:00pm — Get people into the auditorium.\n* 7:05pm — Orlando JUG opening remarks (next events\, news\, etc.).\n* 7:10pm — Featured presentation.\n* 8:20pm — Q&A. **Two attendees will each win an IntelliJ IDEA license!**\n## Speaker\n* (https://www.linkedin.com/in/gerritgrunwald/): Someone that loves coding for around 40 years already\, interested in desktop\, mobile and IoT projects based on all possible technologies. Loves all things Java. Founder and leader of Java User Group Münster (Germany)\, JavaOne rockstar and Java Champion.

SUMMARY:Made in America: How to Leverage Re-shoring to Build Your Business
DESCRIPTION:Reshoring manufacturing and promoting domestic production have been a real focus across the United States for the past several years.  As part of the Made in America and Build America Buy America initiatives\, many construction and infrastructure projects funded with federal or state dollars now come with the stipulation that a majority of the products purchased be sourced from US-based manufacturers. Likewise\, a significant portion of Federal government purchasing is required to be bought from US manufacturers.            Given these trends\, US-based manufacturers have a unique opportunity to engage new markets and customers. Become familiar with the regulations and stipulations surrounding “Made in America” and tap into new customers eager to find US-based suppliers for their needs.            The Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) network stands as one of the primary resources connecting these purchasers with the relevant domestic manufacturers and products they are looking for. Learn how to access this growing network of resources to help expand and grow your business in new and exciting directions.           Key Takeaways:          Learn how to develop a supplier business that is eligible to take advantage of Buy America sourcing opportunities.     Explore how to use state and federal supplier scouting programs to uncover new opportunities and expand market reach.   Understand how reshoring trends are reshaping demand patterns\, and how your business can strategically align to benefit.   Learn how to identify capability gaps early and access technical assistance to close them before pursuing certification.        View Event: https://www.floridamakes.com/events/event-description?CalendarEventKey=f6c80888-cf62-4b36-9a36-019ae235d2c5&Home=%2fHigherLogic%2fMicrosites%2fDownloadICalendar.aspx
