Making Connections

WOW! If you didn’t attend the East Orlando Chamber of Commerce Business Expo on August 25th you missed a great event. 115 exhibitors showcased their products and services to over 450 attendees at the DoubleTree Hotel Orlando Airport. South Korea was represented by 5 companies who traveled to Orlando to introduce their innovative products to the American audience.

These items included biodegradable bubble wrap and packaging which completely decomposes in 6 months, to air filtration systems made from biodegradable materials to a cup sanitation system which allows customers to use their own drinkware at coffee shops. Innovation was in the air. Chamber members were out in force networking and making contacts during this jammed packed 3-hour event. The rain held off allowing attendees to experience the all-electric 3 wheeled Arcimoto and Tesla’s complements of EV Transports.

Chamber member restaurants provided food and beverages keeping attendees well hydrated and fed. Marlow’s Tavern had samples of their Tuna Poke and Margaritas, Rock N Brew’s featured pasta and wings while Chop5 provided a sampling of salads. Clean Juice shared their 100% organic juices with P1 Vodka and The Keg Social providing additional drink samplings. The assortment of food samplings the hotel chef presented continually kept everyone fed.

Representatives from the Landings at Gentry Park stated “We made so many new connections for both of our communities! We will absolutely participate again next year.” Kimberly with CHOP5 was excited to be part of her first Business Expo stating “The communication in advance helped me know exactly what to expect. Great Event!”
