GENERAL MEETING INFORMATION:
We meet monthly, usually on the first Saturday of every month from 10:30am to 12:30pm (unless it conflicts with a holiday weekend or some other significant event where we may push it to the second Saturday). Meetings alternate between open industry-speaker presentations with networking, and quarterly closed NDA-covered member workshops.
Meeting location varies, often at the NEC (National Entrepreneur Center) in Central Orlando, Maitland Public Library, or Familab makerspace. Meetings apart from workshops are also hybrid over Zoom.
Cost: Open meetings are free. Workshops require $30 annual dues.
