LAKELAND, FL – The Central Florida Business Expo (CFLBE) is proud to announce HighLevel as the Title Sponsor for the 2026 Central Florida Business Expo, further elevating the event’s mission to support business growth, innovation, and entrepreneurship across Polk County and the broader Central Florida region.
Now entering its third year, the Central Florida Business Expo has become a regional platform for bringing together entrepreneurs, business owners, nonprofit leaders, corporate executives, resource partners, and community stakeholders to build relationships, share ideas, and explore opportunities for growth.
The partnership with HighLevel represents a natural alignment between the Expo’s purpose and HighLevel’s commitment to helping businesses grow through technology, automation, communication, and operational efficiency.
HighLevel is a leading business operating platform that helps organizations consolidate the tools they need to attract leads, manage customer relationships, automate communication, streamline operations, and drive long-term growth through a single integrated system. The platform is used by businesses, agencies, and entrepreneurs around the world to improve efficiency, strengthen customer engagement, and create scalable systems for growth. HighLevel was founded to solve the challenges businesses face when managing multiple disconnected systems and has evolved into a comprehensive platform supporting lead generation, communication, sales, retention, and recurring revenue strategies.
The 2026 Central Florida Business Expo will take place at the RP Funding Center in Lakeland, Florida, in partnership with the City of Lakeland. The event will feature exhibitors, sponsors, educational sessions, keynote presentations, networking opportunities, and business resources designed to help organizations navigate growth and adapt to an increasingly competitive marketplace.
This year’s theme, “Breakthrough: Leading Change, Unlocking Growth,” reflects the reality that many organizations are facing today. As technology continues to reshape the way businesses operate, leaders are seeking practical ways to improve efficiency, strengthen customer relationships, and position their organizations for long-term success.
“HighLevel’s focus on helping businesses simplify operations and create scalable systems aligns closely with the vision of the Central Florida Business Expo,” said Chrissanne Long, organizer of the Central Florida Business Expo. “As businesses continue to navigate growth, automation, customer engagement, and operational efficiency have become essential components of long-term success. We’re excited to partner with a company that is helping businesses address those challenges every day.”
The partnership also reflects the growing importance of entrepreneurship, innovation, and business support systems within Polk County’s economic future. Local organizations including the City of Lakeland Business Resource Office and economic development leaders throughout the region continue to emphasize the importance of connecting businesses with resources, technology, and strategic partnerships that help them grow and thrive.
As Title Sponsor, HighLevel will play a prominent role in the 2026 event experience while helping reinforce CFLBE’s mission of creating meaningful opportunities for business leaders to connect, collaborate, and move forward together.
