Global Connections. Meaningful Exchange.
International delegations are at the heart of the Tampa International Diplomacy & Exchange Summit.
TIDES brings global leaders to Tampa to build relationships that extend beyond the conference itself — creating opportunities for trade and investment, educational and cultural exchange, municipal cooperation and long-term international partnerships.
Delegations participating in TIDES have opportunities to engage with Tampa Bay business and civic leaders, participate in conference programming, exhibit in the TIDES Expo and take part in facilitated introductions and meetings aligned with their priorities.
