Joanne Weiland, founder of LinktoEXPERT was among the 120 people who braved the evening thunderstorm July 31st to participate in the Think Tank at Florida Next’s Tampa Impact Forum. It was a great night and we heard many interesting pitches on how to improve our community in Tampa. We listened to over a dozen 90-second pitches on ways to make the Tampa Bay area a more desirable place to live, work, and play. The quick-fire pitches, part of the invitation-only event, took on a Shark Tank feel, but with a friendly audience serving as judges. Fourteen people made pitches and the crowd voted on their top three favorites. These three ideas will receive organizational support from Florida NEXT:
Florida NEXT plans to hold similar Impact Forums in other cities across the state, including Jacksonville, Tallahassee, Miami, and Sarasota.
Great job Alex Sink, Founder and Ned Pope, President of Florida Next!
