SUMMARY:The UX Advantage: Building Frictionless Products From Day Zero
DESCRIPTION:Get ready to learn how to design smooth\, user-friendly products right from the very start.\n\n\nSynopsis: \nIn the race to launch a green-field digital product\, founders often prioritize feature count over user flow and curb appeal—a mistake that causes many startups to stumble out of the gate.

Style is part of your brand\, and we are not leaving that conversation out of the room. \nDO YOU WANT TO BE ORLANDO’S NEXT TOP MODEL? \nThis is not just a panel.

You are not choosing one — you get all four. \nDress for the Brand You Are Building Panel and Interactive Runway How you show up is part of your brand. This panel covers professional style for the office\, events\, and working from home — then takes it further with an interactive runway experience where you could actually walk the stage. \nProfessional Networking Intentional connection time built into the day. This is not hallway small talk. You will leave with real relationships and real referrals. \nHere is everything your ticket includes: \n→ Full all-day access — every session\, every experience\, 9AM to 3PM  \n→ Free professional headshot with Tillsbrothers  \n→ Four brand strategy workshops  \n→ Dress for the Brand You Are Building panel and interactive runway  \n→ Intentional networking built into the agenda  \n→ Access to the Building Our Tech community beyond April 11th  \n→ DJ Darryl J keeping the energy all day  \n→ Breakfast — danishes\, muffins\, coffee station\, and orange juice  \n→ Lunch — sandwich bar\, salads\, cookies\, sodas\, and infused water  \n→ Digital resources from every workshop facilitator \nTicket Pricing — 48 Hour Launch Special \n🎟 General Admission — $39.00 👥 Duo Pass (2 tickets) — $69.00 \nSmall processing fees apply at checkout. \nEvent Details: \n📅 Saturday April 11\, 2026 ⏰ 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM 📍 Eola View · 150 E Central Blvd · Downtown Orlando FL 32801 🌐 buildingourtech.org  \nAbout Building Our Tech \nBuilding Our Tech is an Orlando based nonprofit supporting founders\, creators\, and tech entrepreneurs through workforce development\, startup support\, and community building.
