WINTER SPRINGS, Fla. - The University of Central Florida Business Incubator in Winter Springs is hosting the Entrepreneur Round Table to help entrepreneurs and small business owners learn how to respond to startup and organizational challenges with sustainable solutions.
Esther Vargas-Davis, site manager at the UCF Business Incubator in Winter Springs, said the Entrepreneur Round Table is a collaborative effort organized by Chad Eaves, president of Eaves Consulting in Oviedo.
The Entrepreneur Round Table is scheduled from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 28, admission is free and open to small business owners and entrepreneurs in the Winter Springs and Oviedo areas. The Round Table, which will include dinner, will be held at the Incubator’s offices at 1511 E. S.R. 434, off Hwy. 417 in Winter Springs.
“The Entrepreneur Round Table is a chance for small business entrepreneurs to engage in dialogue about their experience as small business owners, discuss challenges they are facing and gain new perspectives on developing sustainable solutions,” said Vargas-Davis. “It’s an open forum, and participants collaborate in developing solutions,” she said.
“Through the Entrepreneur Round Table, we bring together businesses that are just beginning with ones that have been operating for over ten years in different industries,” said Eaves. “This Round Table provides an open forum with diverse perspectives and experiences that support peer mentoring, targeted troubleshooting, and ultimately helps foster the entrepreneurial spirit in Oviedo and Winter Springs.
“By connecting as small businesses owners and leaders, we can help our community grow competitively and strategically,” Eaves added. “This has been a great partnering effort between Eaves Consulting, the UCF Business Incubation Program, the City of Winter Springs, the Oviedo-Winter Springs Regional Chamber of Commerce, and Seminole Community College SBDC.”
