By Edward Ornelas, Founder of CONVERGE

In my years as a business leader, community advocate, and passionate supporter of the sports and entertainment industry, I have witnessed firsthand the incredible potential that arises when diverse sectors come together. This belief in the power of collaboration inspired me to create CONVERGE, the ultimate networking hub where business executives, corporate brands, sports teams, and entertainment venues can connect, innovate, and grow.

The Journey to CONVERGE

My journey to founding CONVERGE was shaped by my extensive experience in business development and community engagement. As the President & CEO of the Inland Empire Regional Chamber of Commerce, I dedicated myself to fostering economic growth and creating opportunities for businesses in Southern California. Through this role, I realized the immense value of tailored business advocacy and the importance of avoiding a "one-size-fits-all" approach.

This realization led me to envision a platform where professionals from various industries could come together to share ideas, form strategic partnerships, and drive innovation. I wanted to create a space where connections could be made organically, and where each collaboration could be customized to meet the unique needs of the participants.

The Vision for CONVERGE

At CONVERGE, our mission is simple yet profound: to ignite growth, foster innovation, and build meaningful partnerships. We bring together the dynamic realms of business, sports, entertainment, and technology under one electrifying roof. Our goal is to facilitate connections that lead to transformative opportunities, whether through advertising deals, sponsorship agreements, or collaborative ventures.

By connecting executives, corporate brands, sports teams, and entertainment venues, CONVERGE aims to elevate the sports and entertainment experience in Southern California. We believe that when diverse industries come together, they can achieve remarkable results that benefit not only their individual sectors but also the broader community.

Empowering Community and Innovation

One of the core principles that drives CONVERGE is our commitment to community engagement and corporate social responsibility. Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to making a positive impact on the community, whether through my work with the Chamber of Commerce or my advocacy for STEM education and initiatives that support youth empowerment.

With CONVERGE, I wanted to create a platform that not only fosters business growth but also contributes to the well-being of our communities. By supporting philanthropic initiatives and promoting social responsibility, we can ensure that our collaborations have a lasting and meaningful impact.

Shaping the Future Together

As the Founder of CONVERGE, I am proud to lead a movement that celebrates the extraordinary potential of collaboration and innovation. Our platform is designed to bring together visionary leaders, industry experts, and passionate advocates who share a common goal: to shape a brighter future through the power of convergence.

I invite you to join us on this exciting journey. Together, we can unlock new opportunities, drive economic growth, and make a lasting impact in the worlds of business, sports, and entertainment. At CONVERGE, we believe that the future is bright when we come together to create something truly remarkable.
