Grand Opening Reception

Tampa Convention Center, West Hall
Get a head staaarrrt on your Summer Meeting experience at our Sunday Grand Opening Reception, reflecting the spirit of Tampa Bay’s famous Gasparilla Pirate Festival.
Every January, more than 400,000 people gather as the Tampa mayor hands a key to the city to the pirate captain and his “krewe.” We promise a smaller crew—but just as much fun—as you unlock the exhibit hall for a sneak preview and the opportunity to connect with your peers and industry experts.
Admission is included in the full-time paid registration fee. Registered exhibitors will also receive a ticket. Additional tickets can be purchased prior to the meeting during the registration process (on-line or on the registration form) or at the meeting in the Staffed Registration area. Tickets are $25 and non-refundable.
