Escambia County

Pensacola belongs in this room

The Gulf Coast economy doesn’t stop at the state line — and neither does AEF. For Pensacola’s founders, operators, and investors, it’s the business-networking event worth the drive to Mobile.

One Region

Mobile and Pensacola share an economy

AEF is rooted in Mobile, but the people we’re talking to are the ones who care about what’s happening across the Gulf Coast and want to be part of it. The founders, operators, and investors of Pensacola and Escambia County work the same waters, the same corridors, and often the same customers as their neighbors across the bay — and the record AEF is building documents all of it as one region.

The room convenes at the Mobile Area Chamber of Commerce in downtown Mobile — straight down I-10 from Pensacola. One evening, 100 seats, and a format you won’t find at a chamber mixer on either side of the line.

The other half of your market

The operators and investors working the Alabama side of the Gulf Coast, in one room, off the record after 7:50 PM.

A seat in the record

AEF documents the region's economy through the people building it. Escambia County's story belongs in that record too.

No pitches, either direction

The No-Pitch Sanctuary applies to everyone. You won't be prospected across the state line — contribution precedes reward.
