EVENT INFO

We recognize that we must give everyone an opportunity to maximize their potential. Through collaboration and innovation, communities are uplifted and can contribute to the entrepreneurial economy.

This next Spark Sessions will be focused on how we can mobilize ourselves and leverage social and civic innovation to respond to the community’s most pressing issues. From the environment to education, to social justice, policy, and women’s empowerment, these speakers are tackling problems head-on and we hope that their stories will spark and ignite the power within the audience to do the same. We will have a candid dialogue about what where the gaps are in Tampa Bay and our vision to lead the effort to fill in and respond to the needs of the people around us.
