Why Leaders Are Coming to TIDES
Hear from speakers and partners shaping the conversation.
“TIDES is proof that Tampa belongs in the room with the world’s biggest cities, We’re pulling in business, government, and education leaders from across the globe, and putting them at the same table as the people who actually live here. Those conversations turn into partnerships, trade deals, and research collaborations that outlast any single summit.”
Mayor Jane Castor
Tampa Mayor
“Innovation does not stop at borders. TIDES creates an environment where entrepreneurs, investors, universities and international partners can exchange ideas and explore opportunities to build and scale businesses globally.”
Linda Olson
President of Tampa Bay Wave
“Tampa is already a major international city, but that story is not always as widely recognized as it should be. TIDES brings together business, education, innovation, diplomacy and civic leadership to showcase Tampa Bay’s global connections and create new opportunities with partners around the world.”
Alfred Goldberg
President of Tampa Sister Cities
