About

Built for Business, Together

JAX Business Calendar is a free, community-first platform that makes Jacksonville’s business ecosystem easier to discover and navigate.
The platform brings together business events from across the region into one centralized calendar, including meetups, workshops, pitch nights, networking events, and accelerators. Beyond events, JAX Business Calendar is expanding to showcase resources, organizations, and programs that support entrepreneurs, small businesses, and especially startups, helping drive growth and innovation.
Offered at no cost by its founding organizations, JAX Business Calendar is not owned or controlled by a single group’s agenda. It is a shared community resource that relies on collaboration and contributions from across the ecosystem, reflecting the diversity, energy, and ambition of Jacksonville’s business community.
