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.
