How Technology Fuels Florida's Growth Ft. Senator Jeff Brandes
Tue Aug 10, 2:00 PM - Tue Aug 10, 3:00 PM

As closures loomed around the state and in-store customer confidence plummeted, 84 percent of Florida’s small businesses pivoted to digital tools like social media and e-commerce sites to safely meet customer demand. Due to their success, many small businesses plan to continue or expand their use of digital tools as Florida makes its way to a new normal.

Hosted by Connected Commerce Council President Jake Ward, listeners will hear from Senator Jeff Brandes, a long-time tech and small business ally, as well as small business leader Julio Fuentes, President of the Florida State Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, on how Florida can remain a leader in small business growth and tech investment.

Small business owners George and Gina McGuire of Glass Crafters Stained Glass will share how digital tools helped support their business. Technology Council Representative of the Miami-Dade Chamber and small business owner Reginald Andre will discuss why a robust tech infrastructure is critical to Florida’s entrepreneur and small business expansion efforts.
