What is Tampa Bay Spark?
After traveling the world and the country and encountering the power of inclusive entrepreneurial communities–powered by innovation, disruption, and economic empowerment–Tampa Bay Spark was birthed to play a catalytic role in the building of asset and talent-filled spaces within diverse communities allowing innovation and economic competitiveness to thrive in Tampa Bay!

Join us for an evening of networking, great food, and a time to share in our vision of maximizing the potential of all. Through collaboration and innovation communities are uplifted and can contribute to the entrepreneurial economy.

Spark Sessions are designed to create a space for entrepreneurs, technologists, creatives, corporate and community leaders, and other professionals from all diverse backgrounds to receive the tools and resources they need to enhance their work and impact their community.
