Welcome to the Orlando Tech News Content Calendar, our public roadmap for the next year. This calendar is a testament to our commitment to providing in-depth, thoughtful coverage of Central Florida’s innovation ecosystem. Each month is anchored by a specific tech theme and it’s also a call to a deeper partnership. My goal is to build the only news organization that can bring you consistent, on-the-ground reporting across Central Florida’s various tech hubs, from Sanford to the Space Coast.
This strategic approach offers two powerful ways for brands to help us fulfill this mission. You can partner with us on a monthly theme, becoming a prominent sponsor for that specific topic (e.g., our smart cities and IoT coverage in September). Or, for brands committed to elevating their specific area, we offer dedicated regional sponsorships that directly fund our ability to deliver a journalist to your community on a regular basis. Your support will be the engine that brings this unique reporting to life, positioning you as a true community leader. Please reach out directly to request our full rate card and discuss a custom partnership.
