Hi, I'm Melissa Lampugnano, founder of Jacksonville Business Connections. Since 2012, I've been passionate about helping local businesses grow through meaningful connections, community events, and strategic marketing opportunities.

What started as a vision to bring people together has grown into one of Northeast Florida's leading business networking communities. Through expos, makers markets, business directories, educational events, and online promotion, my goal is simple: help businesses gain visibility, build relationships, and grow their success.

I believe that when local businesses support one another, entire communities thrive. Whether you're a small business owner, entrepreneur, nonprofit, or established company, Jacksonville Business Connections is here to provide opportunities to connect, collaborate, and be discovered.

When I'm not planning events or promoting local businesses, you'll find me working with clients in real estate, exploring new ways to support entrepreneurs, and creating experiences that strengthen our local community.

Let's connect, grow together, and make a lasting impact across Northeast Florida.
