At the December 12, 2024, Pulse Memorial Advisory Council Meeting, design assistants presented a refined design concept for the future memorial. This concept incorporated elements that gained a consensus amongst committee members, survivors and families of the victims.
The advisory committee would like your feedback on the refined design concept. The committee's vision is to create a memorial honoring the 49 victims, to reflect the themes of sanctuary, tranquility, hope, healing, education, acceptance, love and acknowledging the diverse identities of the victims.
We would like to know:
- how you feel about the refined design concept as a whole
- does it align with the committee's vision for the memorial
- how you feel about the way designers have depicted the various elements
We will leave this survey open until January 22, 2025. The next committee meeting will be on February 4, 2025, where they will finalize the design proposal to be shared with the Orlando City Council in early 2025.

CLOSED: This survey has concluded.
During its November meeting, the Pulse Memorial Advisory Committee worked with design assistants to create initial sketches for the future permanent memorial at the Pulse site. These sketches incorporated elements that gained a consensus amongst the committee, as well as many families of the victims and survivors of the tragedy.
The advisory committee would like your feedback on the initial sketches.
In particular, we are hoping to hear from you whether you think the elements depicted honor the victims of the Pulse tragedy and those who survived the attack. We also want to know whether you think the overall concept aligns with the notion of a peaceful sanctuary that honors the 49 and the survivors and conveys love, hope, acceptance, and resilience.
During its December meeting, the advisory committee will finalize the design concept and then meet once more in January to finalize the design proposal that will be shared with the Orlando City Council in early 2025.
As a reminder, we have created a dedicated website at pulseorlando.org that is home to historical records, information and updates about the memorial process, upcoming events and opportunities to stay engaged.
