Four days. 150 business leaders. One room. Not a conference where you collect business cards. PIP is where the relationships that change your business actually form.
We made a deliberate decision years ago: PIP will never become a trade show. When the same group of business leaders shares four days together — meals, pool parties, real conversations — you leave knowing people by name. That's by design.
The intentional intimacy is why attendees come back. It's why sponsors sell out. It's why the connections made at PIP turn into real deals and lasting partnerships.
You'll know nearly everyone in the room by Sunday. That's by design.
Every seat is a Florida business owner, entrepreneur, or executive.
Keynotes, panels, workshops, and parties — every hour is designed.
Gaylord Palms — water park, world-class dining, stunning atriums.
David PowerTalk Solomon opens Friday morning with a keynote built specifically for Florida's business community — high-energy, practical, and genuinely transformative. Then a full day of expert panels and workshops begins.

Every year PIP closes Saturday with a themed Closing Celebration people reference for the next twelve months. PIP26 goes Miami Vice. Pastel suits, open collars, and a room full of people who genuinely know each other after four days together.
An iconic Florida luxury resort with soaring glass atriums, a full water park, world-class dining, and an adults-only pool. Minutes from Walt Disney World — the perfect backdrop for four days of business and unforgettable experiences.
Every year someone says "this was the best one yet." Watch and see why 87 of the 150 seats are already claimed.
"I've been to a ton of conferences over the last 20 plus years. There is nothing like Professionals in Paradise. It is a conference, a retreat, and a connection experience like none other."
"This is not just an experience, it's an investment. You'll make new friends, you'll learn a lot, and you'll leave with tactical lessons you can apply to your business immediately."
"This is my fourth year in a row and third year as a sponsor. It's a wonderful opportunity to forge meaningful connections that you will have for a lifetime."
"This is much more of a family than it is a business networking group — but we do happen to refer a lot of business to each other. Five years in and it's been a blessing."
"What a conference — and it's only a day and a half in. I've met amazing new people and caught up with old friends. If you're not here this year, you've lost out. Sign up for PIP 2026."
"This was my very first PIP and I got so many actionable takeaways I'm putting into effect immediately. I met wonderful people and I'm already excited for next year."
"This is my fifth year at PIP and I cannot speak enough about Andy and Vanessa and the show they put on every year. I hope to see every single one of you at PIP26."
"I totally enjoyed the conference, especially everything on AI. I'm definitely going to apply a lot of what I learned and I'm looking forward to coming back next year."
"It's the best event I've gone to in many years. I loved it because I met a lot of great new people, learned great tips about business, and would highly recommend it."
We'll send you speaker reveals, last-chance seat alerts, and event news. No spam — just what matters for PIP26.
