Seminole County Chamber hosts 2026 State of the County Luncheon in February

The Seminole County Chamber will host the 2026 Annual State of the County Luncheon on Friday, Feb. 13, at the Orlando Marriott Lake Mary, 1501 International Parkway in Lake Mary. Registration and networking begin at 11:30 a.m., with lunch and the program starting at noon and the event scheduled to end at 1:30 p.m. The event is positioned as a business-community gathering and carries ticketed attendance and corporate table options.

Individual seats are priced at $55 for Chamber members and $70 for non-members. Corporate tables of 10 are listed at $750 for members and $850 for non-members, which works out to $75 per seat for member tables and $85 per seat for non-member tables—higher than the individual-seat rates. Those pricing differentials suggest the Chamber is targeting companies that value reserved corporate hospitality and visibility rather than strictly offering the lowest per-seat price.

Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free meal options are available, but requests must be submitted by Feb. 4, 2026, or they cannot be guaranteed. Attendees are instructed to include meal requests and any food allergies or dietary restrictions in the Attendee Comments field during registration. For questions or to arrange details, contact Erin Eble, Director of Events, at 407-708-4613.

The event page offers integrated registration features aimed at busy professionals: Add to Calendar support (Google, Yahoo and iCal), a "Set a Reminder" form that can send email reminders 1 day, 2 days, 3 days or 1 week before the event, and Captcha validation on submission. These tools lower frictions for calendar management and reinforce the expectation that the luncheon is intended for working executives and civic leaders who schedule in advance.

Contextually, Seminole’s pricing sits above some nearby county events: Salem County lists a $40-per-person luncheon on Feb. 27 and Marion County offers a $20 seated buffet option (with a free general admission option) on March 31. Those contrasts point to a range of models for public-sector and chamber events—from low-cost, high-access formats to higher-priced, business-focused networking sessions. For Seminole County, a higher price point and corporate-table structure may concentrate attendance among firms budgeting for client hospitality and government relations outreach.

Missing from the Seminole listing are speaker names, a detailed agenda and sponsorship information; organizers have not published a keynote list in the event notice. Residents and business leaders who want program details or press access should call Erin Eble at 407-708-4613. For attendees, the immediate practical step is to register and, if needed, submit meal requests by Feb. 4 to ensure accommodations. Looking ahead, the luncheon will be a focal point for local business-government engagement in early 2026 and a venue where county priorities and private-sector responses will begin to shape the calendar of public policy and economic activity for the year.
