Empower.
Innovate.
Accelerate.

Empower our region to engage and bring forward ideas. Innovate action that turns those ideas into reality – implement the goal. Accelerate our collective momentum, to increase the resilience of our people, places and prosperity.

This is the thesis behind the East Central Florida Regional Resilience Collaborative’s (R2C) Leadership Summit Ahead of the Curve: Empower. Innovate. Accelerate. The R2C vision is to ensure a thriving and resilient future through comprehensive regional collaboration. The Summit aims to bring together thought leaders to connect, collaborate, and engage leading minds in resilient and sustainable action.

The Leadership Summit is set to be held at a venue known for leadership within its own field. The NASA Kennedy Space Center is an American icon of breaking barriers and the achievement of ambitious goals. At the pinnacle of technology and science, the Kennedy Space Center remains a leading center for exploration, partnership, and achievement.

It is only fitting that the venue that has hosted decades of innovation positioning the United States ahead of the curve in aerospace innovation, will host East Central Florida’s collaborative effort to mature in resilience, ahead of the curve.
