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.

SUMMARY:Signature Summit — Orlando's Only Creative Business Summit
DESCRIPTION:Get ready to connect with creative pros and boost your business game at Orlando’s must-attend creative summit!\n\n\nSIGNATURE SUMMIT — Orlando’s Only Creative Business Summit \nOne day. One room. Everything you need to sharpen your brand\, strengthen your business\, and connect with people who are building something real. \nThe BOT Team built Signature Summit because we kept seeing talented\, gifted\, visionary people showing up small. Not because they lacked talent. Not because they lacked drive. But because nobody had given them the room to figure out who they truly are as a brand. \nThis is that room. \nWHAT IS SIGNATURE SUMMIT? \nSignature Summit is a one-day interactive creative business summit hosted by Building Our Tech — formerly known as Black Orlando Tech — in the heart of Downtown Orlando. This is not a sit-and-listen conference. Every experience on this agenda was designed to help you walk away with something real. A discovery. A connection. A skill. A strategy. A headshot. Something you can put to work the moment you leave. \nWHAT IS WAITING FOR YOU: \nALL DAY EXPERIENCES \nBrand Archetype Discovery Wall Experience — Powered by StickerPrintGO Discover which of the 8 brand archetypes drives you\, where you are strongest\, and who you need around you to fill the gaps. This is not a generic personality test. This is the framework that finally explains everything about how you show up. \nProfessional Headshot Experience — with Tillsbrothers. Walk in and walk out with a professional headshot. Camera ready. No excuses. \nCoffee Networking — Sponsored by Truist Foundation. Intentional connection time is built into the day. This is not hallway small talk. You will leave with real relationships\, not just business cards. \nWORKSHOPS \nHiring Creatives: From Idea to Execution Janet Randolph and David Yarde Learn how to find\, hire\, and work with creative talent that actually moves your brand forward. \nBeyond Pretty Graphics: Hidden Features That Scale Nicole Perpillant The tools inside your favorite platforms that most people never find — and that will save you hours every single week. \nFrom Audience to Experience: Building a Brand That Moves People Knakeesha Samuels How to turn passive followers into an engaged community that buys\, shares\, and shows up for everything you build. \nRun Your Brand Without Burnout: Systems to Save Time and Scale\, Safia Porter. The systems\, tools\, and boundaries that let you build a brand that grows without costing you your peace. \nPANEL AND EXPERIENCE \nFashion of Influence Panel and Interactive Runway Ana Duperval and Chris Cyrille A full Fashion of Influence panel covering how you show up professionally — in the office\, at events\, and working from home. 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. It is a fully interactive runway experience that highlights styles for every BODY. Be inspired. See yourself on that stage. And if you want to walk it\, submit your unique style and how you show up\, and you could be chosen to walk our runway. Music all day by DJ Darryl J. \nBut you have to be there to be chosen. \nYOUR TICKET INCLUDES EVERYTHING: \n✔ Full all-day summit access — every workshop\, every experience\, every moment from 9 AM to 3 PM \n✔ All 4 workshops — you are not choosing one and missing the rest. You get everything. Hiring creatives\, brand building\, business systems\, and hidden tech features that scale \n✔ Brand Archetype Discovery — walk away knowing exactly which of the 8 archetypes drives your brand\, how to use it\, and who you need around you to fill the gaps \n✔ Fashion of Influence Panel and your chance to walk the runway — yes\, you could actually be on that stage \n✔ Free professional headshots with Tillsbrothers — camera-ready\, no excuses \n✔ Intentional networking — connection is built into the day\, so you leave with real relationships\, not just business cards \n✔ Access to the BOT community beyond April 11th — the room does not close when the event ends \n✔ DJ Darryl J keeping the energy all day — because good music makes everything better \n✔ Breakfast — assorted danishes and muffins with a coffee station and orange juice\, sponsored by Truist Foundation \n✔ Breakfast — assorted danishes and muffins with a coffee station and orange juice\, sponsored by Truist Foundation \n✔ Lunch — create your own sandwich or wrap\, potato salad\, pasta salad\, assorted cookies\, sodas\, and infused water\, sponsored by Truist Foundation \n✔ Digital resources from every workshop facilitator — tools and frameworks you can put to work the moment you leave the room \nTICKET OPTIONS: \n🎟 Builder Ticket — $49.00  \n👥 Builder Duo Pass (2 tickets) — $89.00  \n🎓 Student Builder — $29.00  \n🎖 Veteran Builder — $39.00 \nSmall processing fees apply at checkout.  \nBOT Members use code BOTMEMBER for an additional 20% off. \nEVENT DETAILS: \n📅 Date: Saturday\, April 11\, 2026  \n⏰ Time: 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM  \n📍 Venue: Eola View\, 150 E Central Blvd\, Orlando\, FL 32801  \n🌐 Website: buildingourtech.org  \n📧 Contact: safia@buildingourtech.org \nFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: \nWhat should I wear?
