Here are a few events worth making room for.

MeetVector is coming to Tech Coast Conference 2026 — and we’d love to see you there.

This year, we’re not just attending. We’re helping show what happens when you know whom you should meet before the conversation even starts.

MeetVector maps the companies, people, and connections around an event to help uncover the relationships and opportunities that may actually matter to you.

If you’re attending Tech Coast Conference, take a look before you get there: https://tcc-aug26.meetvector.ai/
👉

Then come find us at the MeetVector + JAX Business Calendar booth P20 and see how we’re connecting events with the people and opportunities inside them.

And make sure to catch Florian Vlad & Vladimir Bichev at The Break (Room 106) from 4:15 pm as they take the stage to show how MeetVector works — and where we’re taking it next.

📍 Tech Coast Conference
📅 August 27
📍 Prime F. Osborn III Convention Center

See who’s in the room. Know who matters. Make the connection.

Some of the most important work happening in our community happens after everyone else stops watching.

That’s why we created Community Spotlight — to help more people discover the organizations doing meaningful work across Northeast Florida.

Today, we’re honored to spotlight Rethreaded.

For 15 years, they’ve walked alongside survivors of human trafficking through what comes next: employment, healing, rebuilding trust, finding stability — and creating a life of their own choosing. More than 105 survivors. 200,000+ hours of employment.

But their impact goes far beyond numbers.

Their story stayed with us. And we think it will stay with you, too.

Because no one should have to walk the hard road alone.

Some partnerships deserve more than a logo on a page. They deserve a spotlight. ⭐

For the past months, Star V Learning Centers has supported JAX Business Calendar as a visibility partner—but what we appreciate most is what they stand for: helping people and organizations keep learning, evolving, and getting better.

And next week, they’re taking that commitment straight to Tech Coast Conference 2026, where they’ll be exhibiting alongside some of the businesses and technology leaders shaping what’s next for Northeast Florida.

If you’re attending Tech Coast, make sure you stop by and meet the Star V Learning Centers team.

We’re proud to have them as part of the JAX Business Calendar story—and even prouder to see them showing up for Jacksonville’s business community.

Thank you, Star V Learning Centers, for growing with us and investing in the people who make our community stronger. 💙

Some of the best business advice doesn’t come from a stage. It comes from the people sitting next to you.

That’s part of what makes ENRG JAX worth knowing.

Built around a Help First philosophy, this nonprofit brings entrepreneurial leaders together to share experience, exchange ideas, build meaningful relationships, and help each other grow.

No big pitch. No transactional networking.

Just business leaders learning from business leaders.

For this week’s Community Spotlight, we’re taking you inside ENRG JAX—who they are, what makes their model different, and why they’re building something Jacksonville business owners may want to be part of.
