This Orlando Economic Partnership’s signature event gives OEP investors, civic leaders and government partners a front row seat to transformational learnings and relationship building in a U.S. city. This year we invite you to join us as we journey to one of the South’s most dynamic and forward-thinking cities, Charlotte, North Carolina.
Why Charlotte?
Charlotte’s success story mirrors the momentum building in Central Florida: smart investments, strategic partnerships, and a united regional identity. As Orlando continues to emerge on the world stage as a hub of creativity, innovation, and economic opportunity, this mission offers an invaluable opportunity to learn, connect and lead.
The 2025 Executive Leadership Mission is not just a trip; it’s a strategic journey into the future of regional collaboration. Through curated site visits, leadership panels, and peer-to-peer engagement, this mission will provide insights and inspiration as we collectively work toward Orlando’s 2045 vision: becoming a globally recognized creative capital, powered by connectivity, innovation, and broad-based prosperity.
