Good Wednesday morning.
Gov. Ron DeSantis will be the top-billed speaker at the 2021 Future of Florida Forum, the Florida Chamber of Commerce announced Wednesday.
The Future of Florida Forum, scheduled this year for Oct. 27-28, is an annual Chamber event focused on the long-term outlook of the state’s economy and business environment. The past few editions have homed in on ways to bring Florida’s economy into the Top 10 (if measured as a separate country).
In an announcement, the Chamber noted that Florida’s economy has begun to thrive again despite the continuing pandemic. DeSantis deserves a large share of the credit, the Chamber says, for “following the facts and not the fear” while navigating the state’s reopening.
“Under the strong leadership of Gov. Ron DeSantis, Florida’s momentum continues to move forward toward becoming the 10th largest economy in the world by 2030,” said Florida Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Mark Wilson.
“The actions taken by Gov. DeSantis have kept Florida open for business, Floridians safe, our economy moving and continuing to build our brand nationally as the Florida Model.”
At the Future of Florida Forum, DeSantis will speak directly to Florida’s business community about his vision for the state’s future.
The 2021 Florida Chamber Annual Meeting and Future of Florida Forum will be held at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress Orlando. DeSantis will be the distinguished lunch keynote on the first day.
He will be one of more than 80 notable speakers who will address the state’s business leaders during the two-day event focused on how business leaders are engaging in the Florida Chamber’s Six Pillars Framework and the 39 goals of the Florida 2030 Blueprint.
More details and registration information for the 2021 Future of Florida forum are available online.

—@MaryEllenKlas: On Aug. 26, @GovRonDeSantis said antibody treatments have: “been politicized, particularly by a lot of national corporate media outlets, and it’s got to stop.” Now, @ChristinaPushaw wants you to compare COVID #s to a “Democrat-run State.” So, is it okay to politicize? Confused?

The anti-vaxers are deafening online, though IRL they’re in very few regions.
But 73% of eligible, common-sense Americans have had at least one dose. 206.5 million of us!
Pfizer submits data showing its vax is safe for 5-11yos for approval this month.
We will get to 80%.

FL cannot hide the fact that Floridians are dying at the rate of 345/day (latest 7-day average). This is a horrendous rate – nearly double the previous record rates for FL. While we predict the death rate will top out, we still expect 7.9k more to die over the next 4 weeks. https://t.co/v7cSEjD2Vs pic.twitter.com/iTGj5N6Apf
