After months of data gathering and processing, the Leadership Council along with consultant Michael Gallis will report and answer questions on their understanding of how Central Florida’s seven-county region fits into Florida’s and the world’s rapidly changing environment.

Each area or “Essential Activity” will be discussed in a 90-minute, electronically interactive segment during the sessions. Participants will see firsthand the dynamic and complex mapping system developed by Gallis and his team, which is based on the data that has been collected. More than 250 full-color maps will be displayed and discussed, providing a tangible and detailed look at how the region’s communities and systems, such as transportation and education, function individually and in concert with each other, and how they compare to other regions statewide, nationally and globally.
