September’s Plug and Play Health Innovation Lounge brings together students and young professionals interested in entrepreneurship, parents supporting the next generation of innovators, early-stage founders, and community leaders for an engaging afternoon exploring the future of healthcare, technology, and entrepreneurship. 

Connect with community and innovation partners, including Bobby Agagnina, education ambassador at Tavistock; the Lake Nona Regional Chamber of Commerce; Cenfluence; StarterStudio; and Victoria Butler, MHA, with the American Heart Association's Teen of Impact.  

Emerging talent can learn directly from professionals, explore career pathways, connect with entrepreneurs and get a behind-the-scenes look at Orlando’s growing innovation ecosystem. 

Come learn, connect and get inspired by the people building what’s next in healthcare and innovation. The future of health innovation isn’t just about the technology we create; it’s about empowering the people who'll build it.
