4 Elements of an Innovator: How to Innovate like a Rap Star

Why visit? We'll suggest a dozen experiences for after the Orlando innovation conference.

Orlando is one of the biggest tourist destinations in the US, and with Disneyworld, Universal Orlando and SeaWorld there, it’s no surprise as to why. Our Orlando Innovation Conference will show you global trends, but if you want to experience them first-hand, head to the East End Market. The next generation of farmer's market and eatery, this is a creative hub that facilitates a better understanding of sustainable food when it comes to your eats and supporting the local economy. For dinner, check out the CowFish at Universal Orlando. It’s a burger and sushi bar that gets creative with food. Ask for the “Burgushi.” For dessert, cash in some calories at the Sprinkles Cupcake ATM in Downtown Disney, or go on a culinary adventure in the city with the highest number of food trucks per capita!
