Startup Weekend Orlando brings builders, founders, students, and operators together for a weekend of pitching, prototyping, mentoring, and final presentations.

A free, hands-on community "buildathon" in Downtown Orlando for Brazilian and Latino entrepreneurs, small-business owners, marketers, creators, and professionals who want to explore building with AI. No coding experience is required. The session opens with a live demo of Lovable, a platform that turns plain-language instructions into web apps, then attendees build their own project with help from the host and other builders. Each registered participant gets 100 free Lovable credits. Bring a charged laptop and a simple app idea.
Agenda: welcome and introductions, activating free credits, building a project, publishing and sharing an app, then networking.
Hosted by Victor Chiquetti. Organized by CW Digital Marketing. Supported by Lovable.
Celebrate 10 years of Building Our Tech at its signature fundraising gala, supporting the next decade of workforce development and entrepreneurship. Join entrepreneurs, executives, innovators, community partners, and changemakers for a cocktail reception, plated dinner and hosted open bar (21+), awards celebration, curated entertainment, silent auction, and networking.
