CEO Leadership Forums Presents The Innovation Advantage

Orlando, Florida · October 27, 2026

Leaders from TMRW Sports, the YMCA of Central Florida and 4 Rivers Restaurant Group explore what creates competitive advantage when everyone has access to the same technology.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 19, 2026 | Orlando, Florida

CEO Leadership Forums will host The Innovation Advantage on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, from 4:00 PM to 6:30 PM at 1000 Legion Place, 15th Floor, in Orlando. The event is sponsored by Human Interest.

Technology is accessible. Leadership is the advantage.

The panel will take on one central question: If everyone has access to the same technology, what actually creates competitive advantage? Three leaders from three very different environments—sports and entertainment, community impact, and hospitality—will share how they approach that challenge.

In the CEO Leadership Forums format, accomplished leaders sit on the panel and the audience asks the questions.
