  The Florida SBDC Network conducted its first annual Florida Lenders' Conference in June 2005 as a way of bringing Florida lenders and SBDC professionals together to network, interact on a personal/professional level, share experiences in the lending field, learn more about SBA’s loan guaranty program and explore the many mutually beneficial services of the SBDC.

To recognize the importance of partnering technical assistance and capital access to successful business development and creating a positive statewide business environment, the Florida SBDCs publicly recognized their best practice financial partner at the Conference by awarding lifetime status in the Florida SBDC Network Lenders' Hall of Fame.
