On December 9, Gunster and the African American Chamber of Commerce of Central Florida are hosting their annual CEO Roundtable, featuring Lance Lyttle, CEO of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority. During the event, attendees will learn how the Orlando International Airport drives Central Florida's economy and the growth of Black-owned businesses in the region.
The event will explore Mr. Lyttle’s vision on:
- Where opportunities are growing: construction, concessions, retail, professional services, tech, logistics, and ground transportation
- Navigating a tourism gateway: leveraging MCO’s role as the primary portal to Central Florida’s attractions to build brand, scale operations, and create jobs
- How to compete: upcoming procurement windows tied to the $5.9B CIP and terminal enhancements
Gunster's Orlando office Managing Shareholder Derek Bruce will moderate the conversation. He currently serves as the chair of the African American Chamber of Commerce of Central Florida Board of Directors.
