Are You Ready?

We're Still Processing the PIP26 Magic!

Four days at Gaylord Palms. Four days of the best room in Florida.

We have run this conference six times now, and we still are not used to what happens when you put this group of people in one place and let them stay there. Something shifts around day two. The name tags stop mattering. People stop pitching and start talking. By Sunday morning, nobody wants to leave.

That is not something we build. It is something the attendees bring. We just book the rooms.

The connections got made because people showed up willing to make them.

To your success,

Andy & Vanessa Rodriguez

Credas Advising Solutions and GEMRT CPA's & Advisors put their names on PIP26 before a presenter lineup was secured, and before the itinerary was finalized. That is not a small thing. Title sponsorship is a bet placed early, on faith, and both firms made it without hesitation.

Danais, Monica, Nicole and Juan Carlos did not just sponsor. They showed up, took the stage, and gave real content to a room full of business owners who needed it. Thank you both, from all of us.

Every single moment people are still talking about had a sponsor behind it.

Look these businesses up. Hire them. They invested in this community, and the best thank you we can give them is your business.

Sixteen people gave up their time to prepare and deliver real content, and not one of them phoned it in.

David PowerTalk Solomon opened Friday with a keynote that set the tone for the entire weekend. Marly Q Casanova facilitated the event and kept four days running with genuine warmth.

Thank you to Danais Perez, Monica Herrera, Nicole Mendez, Juan Carlos Gonzalez, Will Dukes, Shannon Dukes, Charley Corbett, Eduardo Hornero, Franklin Hernandez, Lorrie Thomas, Michelle Jacobik, Diana Mederos, Christine Kieffer, and Dr. Burak Cankaya.

Finance, AI, marketing, legal, leadership, entrepreneurship...every track delivered!

The reviews started coming in before people had unpacked!

One member in year two wrote that she has been part of her local chamber, a BNI, and countless other networking events and conferences, and that nothing is as beneficial as FPA.

Jorge Morera called it the kind of weekend that reminds you why this community matters, and said he is already thinking about what gets built next.

Luis Peters put it simplest. There is no other networking group in Florida like this one, and these people have become family.

We read each and every one of them, and will continue to do so. Thank you!

July 29 - August 1, 2027 | Gaylord Palms Resort | Orlando

Same resort, same four-day event. Same room that people spend the next twelve months talking about.

If PIP26 was your first one, you already know why people come back. If you missed it this year, this is your notice. Passes go on sale shortly and we will send the link the moment they are live.

Sponsorship conversations for 2027 are open now. Several of this year's activations were claimed a year in advance, so if there is a moment you want your name on, reach out early. Simply reply to this email and let us know!

This year's conference is over, but the FPA community doesn't stop.

We are back with FPA Connects: The Opportunity Room this Thursday at 8:30 AM, and if you met someone at PIP26 you have been meaning to follow up with, this is the easiest way to do it. Bring the momentum with you!

A lot of people at PIP26 were meeting FPA for the first time. If that was you, here is the open door.

Business level membership comes with a 30 day free trial. Private chat, the statewide community, Thursday Zooms, AI coaching tools, and an enhanced member profile. Try it for a month and decide from there!
