Pride Gala Business Awards 2016
Ticket sales have ended.
The Pride Gala Business Awards (presented by Wells Fargo) is hosted by Come Out With Pride and MBA Orlando to highlight and award our region's stellar performers in business within our LGBT community. While the awards are presented by distinguished Florida business persons during an incredible full course dinner, the Gala also includes a pre-dinner reception, a silent auction, an after-party on-site, and a next-day poolside brunch with cocktails. It's the best and most fun community-building event we know.
Our keynote speaker will be Sally Hogshead, who not only appears frequently in national media, but also has a New York Times bestseller book out called "FASCINATE: How to Make Your Brand Impossible" and is one of only 172 living members of the Speaker Hall of Fame®.
