WINTER SPRINGS, Fla. - The University of Central Florida Business
Incubator
in Winter Springs is hosting the Entrepreneur Round Table to help
entrepreneurs and small business owners learn how to respond to startup
and

Esther Vargas-Davis, site manager at the UCF Business Incubator
in Winter
Springs, said the Entrepreneur Round Table is a collaborative effort
organized by Chad Eaves, president of Eaves Consulting in Oviedo.
The Entrepreneur Round Table is scheduled from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

which will include dinner, will be held at the Incubator's offices

"The Entrepreneur Round Table is a chance for small business
entrepreneurs
to engage in dialogue about their experience as small business owners,
discuss challenges they are facing and gain new perspectives on developing
sustainable solutions," said Vargas-Davis. "It's an open
forum, and
participants collaborate in developing solutions," she said.
"Through the Entrepreneur Round Table, we bring together businesses
that are
just beginning with ones that have been operating for over ten years
in
different industries," said Eaves. "This Round Table provides
an open forum
with diverse perspectives and experiences that support peer mentoring,
targeted troubleshooting, and ultimately helps foster the entrepreneurial
spirit in Oviedo and Winter Springs.
"By connecting as small businesses owners and leaders, we can
help our
community grow competitively and strategically," Eaves added. "This
has
been a great partnering effort between Eaves Consulting, the UCF
Business
Incubation Program, the City of Winter Springs, the Oviedo-Winter
