Description

Get ready for the 2026 Young Professionals Summit—an afternoon designed to spark ideas, build connections, and energize the next generation of leaders in Sarasota.

This year, we’re bringing a fresh experience with a new time, new location, and an exciting lineup in the works. While we’re finalizing this year’s theme and speakers, you can expect engaging conversations, real-world insights, and the kind of connections that move your career and community forward.

We’re also proud to celebrate the incredible talent in our community with the Young Professional of the Year Award, recognizing an outstanding individual making a meaningful impact in their workplace and beyond. Nominations are now open—don’t miss your chance to recognize a rising leader (or yourself!).

Schedule

Check-in begins at 1:15 PM. Come early to network and connect before the program kicks off around 1:45 PM.

The Summit will wrap up around 5:00 PM—but we’re not done yet.

✨ New this year: Join us for our first-ever “Connection Hour” immediately following the program! Head to the 8th floor to unwind with drinks, light bites, and even more opportunities to build meaningful connections in a relaxed, social setting.

More details, including this year’s theme and speaker announcements, coming soon. Trust us—you won’t want to miss this.
