Prosperity Through Technology (St. Pete Edition)

Your Guide to Money, Ideas, and Opportunity

Prosperity through Technology is a game-changing, two-day event designed for everyone who wants to improve their life, start a successful business, or find a better job in today’s economy. Forget complicated tech talk—this summit is about real-world tools, clear guidance, and accessible resources that lead to economic growth and stability. Whether you are a senior citizen, a job seeker with zero computer experience, a creative with a business idea, or someone running a long-time business, this event is for you.

You will choose the path that fits your goals:

• The Talent Track: This path is for anyone looking to land a great job or transition to a career with higher pay. We start at the very beginning with Basics in Digital Literacy—teaching you how to use computers, the internet, and essential workplace tools without the stress. You will learn simple ways to use AI tools like Gemini and Co-pilot to make your job search easier, and get expert help with your resume and interview skills. We focus on building the confidence and basic knowledge needed to secure high-demand jobs.
• The Entrepreneur Track: This path is your direct map to launching, growing, and funding your business idea. You'll learn how to take a simple concept and turn it into a validated plan, and discover proven strategies for getting your first customers. Most importantly, you will connect with experts to unlock grants, capital, and investment to help your business thrive.

Join us to break down barriers, meet people who can help you, and find the resources available right here in St. Pete to help you secure a brighter financial future. Your journey starts with one decision—and it’s easier than you think.
