What's Happening In Tampa Bay
Tampa Bay is the headquarters location for Synapse Florida and the annual Synapse Summit. In 2020, we are projecting over 6,000 attendees for the Summit featuring over 600 companies, and presenting over 300 speakers. The Summit is designed to bring the innovation ecosystem all under one roof for 2 powerful days of innovation, expert insights, and networking.
Throughout the year, Synapse also hosts a series of challenges to Florida’s thinkers, doers, and disruptors to address today’s business problems in partnership with local corporations and nonprofits. These challenges have not only proven to be a success for the sponsoring organizations, but it has created new businesses, jobs, and relationships among businesses across the Tampa Bay region.
