What we’re about
Welcome to the Orlando Innovation League!
You might have known us as Lean Startup Orlando - but innovation is #NotJustAboutStartups - it's about innovation methodology across all business domains.
We are an ambitious group of startup founders, enterprise leaders, investors, mentors, entrepreneurial enthusiasts, product developers, and innovation leaders. Our Meetup group serves the Central Florida community as a platform to share experiences, learnings, questions and thoughts about innovation.
"The Lean Startup" by Eric Reis is a book that deeply inspired us but it applies to all kinds of organizations and our topics go beyond it to modern innovation methodology including Design Thinking, Agile, Data-driven decision making and includes thought leadership from Alex Osterwalder, Steve Blank, Ash Maurya, Pete Diamandis, and others. Our presenters and guest speakers represent the startup community, non-profits and social enterprises, and large enterprise - and together - our goal is to make innovation accessible to EVERYONE.
We curate speakers from the Orlando community, and oftentimes, we will feature guest speakers from Silicon Valley and other entrepreneurial ecosystems.
For a group that truly is a mix of people engaged in innovation from varied backgrounds - join us for our next event!

AI on Trial
Orange Orange County Regional History Center, 65 East Central Boulevard, Orlando, FL, US## YOU are the Jury
Is AI the ultimate innovation OR a threat to humanity as we know it?
Join us for AI on Trial, a high-energy, mock trial event where artificial intelligence is put in the hot seat. This courtroom-style debate will feature AI champions as the Defense, arguing for progress, productivity, and human empowerment, while AI skeptics and doomsayers form the Prosecution, warning of bias, disruption, and unchecked power.
🔎 The Case
The charges? You’ll find out soon. But rest assured, they’ll cover the most pressing ethical, societal, and economic questions facing AI today.
🎤 The Format
This interactive evening will include opening statements, key witnesses (yes, even AI-generated ones), rebuttals, and closing arguments. The twist? YOU, the audience, will serve as the jury, deciding the final verdict.
🍷 Stick around after the trial for networking, drinks, and spirited conversation. Whether you’re a technophile or a tech skeptic, AI on Trial is your chance to engage with the future in the most entertaining courtroom you’ve ever seen.
