Worldwide AweSummit

Hear how the Awesome Foundation has been the catalyst for events and discoveries of major impact. Discuss challenges with colleagues who just might have solutions they've implemented. Collaborate on new ideas. Experience the camaraderie of fellow Awesome folks from different corners of the globe. And, enjoy the results of some of Orlando's investments in making their community more awesome.

Why Orlando? This vibrant Central Florida city consistently ranks among the Top 10 most diverse large cities in the US, making it the perfect backdrop for a global gathering of thinkers, creators, and change-makers. With ideal weather in February (expect sunny skies and temps in the low 70s°F), Orlando offers an inviting environment to spark big ideas and new connections.

Home to a thriving arts scene, Orlando has become a magnet for creativity and innovation. This city champions public art, supports world-class cultural institutions, and fosters a growing network of diverse artists, musicians, and visionaries reshaping the urban landscape.

This isn’t your average summit, it’s a celebration of ideas, artistry, and human connection. Over the course of three days, you'll dive into thought-provoking sessions, join collaborative workshops, and meet a passionate community of global citizens committed to building a more imaginative future.

PLUS, as part of your summit experience, you'll also gain free entry to a renowned arts festival –launched a decade ago with seed funding from the Awesome Chapter – that transforms 10 city blocks into a dynamic canvas of breathtaking performances, evocative installations, and awesome immersive expression.

Delicious food. Surprising moments. Abundant sunshine. This is more than an event, it’s a movement. A chance to reimagine what’s possible, fuel your passions, and leave inspired by the power of creativity and collaboration.

We can help with travel costs. The Orlando Chapter has set aside funds to help offset some travel expenses for those who need financial support. Reach out to Dean Terry by email: terry@artsinstigator.org
