            In the video clip above, Dave Vanz from The Orlando Life talks with Kyle Morrand regarding Orlando's position as a tech hub

            How Does Orlando Compare to Other National Tech Hubs?

            From tourism to lifestyle, Orlando is a destination for millions around the globe to travel each year and experience our world class entertainment to thousands moving here weekly to make this amazing metro area their home.

            Next month, a significant event will be held here for the first time, bringing local businesses together with mega global brands, such as Meta, Amazon, and more.

            What’s bringing them here? Immersive technology.

            Kyle Morrand is the CEO of the gaming technology company, 302 Interactive.

            Growing up in Miami, Kyle found his way to Orlando when he chose to attend UCF. After experiencing life in Orlando, he chose to stay.

            Kyle and his team at 302 Interactive are getting ready for MetaCenter Global Week, a 3 day event that puts Orlando front and center with immersive technology brands from all over.

            We met up with Kyle at Creative Village in downtown to have a conversation about the event, his thoughts on the future of immersive technology and what separates Orlando in comparison to other national tech hubs.

I believe everything we create is an expression of who we are, and it's that belief that drives my curiosity to uncover the story's behind those shaping Orlando's Culture.
