Awards Gala
Florida Companies To Watch

Friday, October 19
Orlando, FL
   

The Florida Companies to Watch recognition program focuses on celebrating the successes of Florida's entrepreneurs.  On October 19, 2012, a new set of Florida's growth companies will be recognized as part of the Florida Companies to Watch awards program. 

As a community partner of this program, the Chamber has encouraged successful local second-stage companies to represent Brevard County in this statewide initiative.
The companies selected each year make an astounding impact on Florida's economy by collectively providing thousands of jobs and contributing millions of dollars in revenue - their efforts are worthy of our support and celebration. 

The event will be held at the Rosen Shingle Creek Resort in Orlando, Florida.  For more information and to register for the Awards Gala, visit
