JBN gets to know Lion Nation

Heineken flowed on tap, purple was in abundance, and new business connections took root at the Jewish Federation of Greater Orlando's Jewish Business Network's May 19 meeting, hosted by Orlando City Soccer Club.

Gathering at the City Pub in the club's corporate headquarters, participants schmoozed, noshed and had the pleasure of hearing from Brett Weisbrot, Orlando City's Director of Corporate Partnerships, about the soccer club, its new stadium, and the opportunities for businesses to become season ticketholders or corporate sponsors. Benefits extend beyond having fun at the game with family and friends or hosting business associates; visibility of sponsorship is almost unmatched in Central Florida for reaching new customers.

Orlando City has one of the highest rankings in the league in terms of average fans attending each game, and global stars such as Kaka (for Orlando City) and Alex Morgan (for Orlando Pride) ensure interest beyond Central Florida, including internationally televised matches.

Jewish Business Network members who attended said they enjoyed getting a "behind the scenes" look at the club, and left excited for new business prospects.
