LDBF-Florida is a one-day event that is incorporated into the annual Florida Minority Community Economic Summit, scheduled to take place on May 31, 2012 - June 1, 2012 at the Sheraton Sand Key Resort in Clearwater Beach, Florida.

The focus of the 2012 event will be on Job Creation via the Construction Industry.

Let's Do Business Florida (LDBF) will focus on legal outsourcing (Southeast United States) to minority firms and access and opportunities for all trades in the Florida wide construction industry to include but not limited to: contractors, developers, electricians, plumbers, cabinetry, drywall, landscape, AC, architects, engineers, carpenters, cement masons, painters, roofers, brick masons, carpet and tile installers and many more.

Not only will these construction related Florida minority small businesses have the opportunity to access critical technical assistance, but the goal is to connect these small businesses to decision makers in the federal and corporate sectors that can provide access to contracts (this will also include major contractors and developers who hire subcontractors) via a round robin/speed dating type of venue. Hundreds of minority small businesses will be recruited throughout Florida to participate in this event. As usual this event will be free to these minority small businesses.

For the Summit component of the event, we will assist non profits with connecting with job creation entities such as those in the construction industry that are in need of labor and apprentice assistants that can be recruited from low and moderate income communities throughout Florida. There will be a focus on utilization of data to target job creation in LMI communities and how to create self sufficient non-profits through creation of for profit ventures.
