September 13, 2022

The global entertainment development company is the title sponsor for Synapse Orlando 2022, the Orlando region’s marquee innovation event.

Synapse Florida and the Orlando Tech Council are proud to announce Falcon’s Beyond, a leading fully-integrated global entertainment development company specializing in intellectual property (IP) creation and expansion, as the title sponsor for Synapse Orlando 2022, the region’s marquee innovation event. Synapse Orlando will return to the Dr. Phillips Performing Arts Center on Friday, October 21, connecting nearly 2,000 innovators to celebrate, discover, and engage as one innovation community. 

Synapse Orlando, in partnership with the Orlando Tech Council, is an annual celebration of the innovators, industry leaders and companies that are unique to the region, stretching from the Space Coast to Central Florida. Through a highly curated and immersive experience, attendees engage with speakers, workshops, expert panels, interactive exhibitors, and networking. This event brings together talent, executives, experts, investors, and visionaries, fostering new partnerships, investments, and career opportunities while energizing the innovation community.

This year’s theme centers on Orlando as an innovation engine – past, present and future. Synapse Orlando will showcase the community, from legacy innovators to leaders in emerging technologies that have positioned Orlando as “The MetaCenter,” and example of what makes Orlando Unbelievably Real. 

“The city of Orlando has continued to grow as a major innovation hub, and our title sponsorship of Synapse Orlando 2022, an event which truly celebrates that, is a natural fit for us.”— Cecil D. Magpuri, Chief Executive Officer of Falcon’s Beyond.

“Synapse Orlando provides an important opportunity for our business and technology communities to connect, engage, and expand upon the unique culture of innovation in our area. We can’t wait for this year’s event,” said Cecil D. Magpuri, Chief Executive Officer of Falcon’s Beyond.

The pro forma enterprise value of the new company would be approximately $1 billion.
