Come for the visibility
Stay for the connections

Get ready for Manatee & Sarasota County’s first-ever Connection Expo. A unique, high-energy mash-up of a business expo and one-to-one networking.

This is more than a room full of booths, it’s a full-scale connection engine designed to help you walk away with real opportunities.

How Does it Work? 

Every vendor, sponsor, and participant gets a custom profile in our online directory, making it easy to connect before the doors even open. You’ll be able to match up with vendors and other professionals, start conversations, and book dedicated meeting space for one-to-one discussions during the event.
