Registration is now open for Florida College Access Network’s (FCAN) annual Talent Strong Florida Summit taking place May 6-8, at the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay.
Building on the momentum of previous themes “Access for All” and “Higher Education, Higher Rewards,” this year’s summit focuses on strengthening and aligning education-to-career regional ecosystems to better support students towards high-value pathways. The goal is to elevate the role of multiple student pathways for increasing postsecondary education rates, which are vital for addressing workforce demands and supporting Florida’s economic growth.
The summit will spotlight actionable strategies, data-driven insights, and collaborative innovations that expand college access, boost completion, and help more Floridians thrive in today’s economy. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore the fiscal, social, and personal returns of investing in education beyond high school, which is a key driver of prosperity across the state.
Summit highlights include:
- 30 sessions connected to FCAN’s Seven Conditions that Create a Resilient Workforce and Spark Economic Mobility
- Data and Policy-focused discussions
- Networking opportunities with over 400 peer professionals from education, business, philanthropy and community organizations.
- Inspiring entertainment, art, and performances led by local students
