The development of the Expo would not have been possible without the partnership of the City of Lakeland and the RP Funding Center.
Hosting CFLBE at the RP Funding Center allows the event to showcase one of Lakeland’s most important local amenities while demonstrating the city’s ability to welcome a large-scale, professional business conference.
This opportunity was made possible through the support of City of Lakeland staff members who believed in the vision, encouraged its development, and helped create a pathway for it to grow.
The early support of then-Mayor Bill Mutz, along with Commissioners Stephanie Madden, Mike Musick, and Guy LaLonde, reflected a shared belief that Lakeland and Polk County deserved a signature event capable of convening the people shaping the region’s future.
