What to expect

Networking that feels like catching up with friends

Grab a coffee, tell someone what you do, and ask what they’re working on. You might leave with an idea to try or someone you’d like to meet again.

A relaxed morning

No pitches at the door. Grab a coffee and settle into easy conversation.

New faces, every time

Meet professionals and business owners from across Lake Nona and Orlando.

Ideas worth sharing

Swap marketing tips, talk shop and hear what's working for others.

Real follow-ups

Set up one-on-ones and turn first hellos into lasting relationships.

Meet your host

Julio Avilés, founder

After years of hosting networking events, Julio wanted to give Lake Nona a place where getting to know other business owners felt easy. He started Crema to make those introductions possible and give people a reason to come back.
