Future of Florida Summit
Every spring, 70 students from universities and colleges across Florida are invited to Gainesville, where they work in teams to develop a policy solution addressing growth and development in the Sunshine State. Content and policy experts are also invited to participate in the Future of Florida Summit (FOF), offering their advice and networking with students.
2026 FOF: Designing Tomorrow: Florida’s Growth and Development Summit
This year’s FOF Summit, Designing Tomorrow: Florida’s Growth and Development, took place from Friday, January 30, 2026, to Sunday, February 1, 2026. We brought together students from across the state to explore the challenges and opportunities shaping Florida’s future. Participants examined pressing issues such as infrastructure, environmental sustainability, and cultural preservation, while collaborated in teams to develop innovative public policy solutions. These proposals were presented at the conclusion of the FOF Summit and evaluated by a panel of judges.
