A Community of Thinkers
We believe the Tampa Bay area is filled with exciting ideas, inspiring stories, and people who want to share them. In this ongoing speaker series, we seek to unlock our community's intellectual capital and create connections that catalyze growth.
Eat. Drink. Connect.
Enjoy food for thought around the table with old friends or new, roam the bier hall to mix it up, or simply sit back and take it all in.
About Our Venue
More than a restaurant and bar. More than a music and social venue. New World Tampa is a community hub, dedicated to fostering progress.
But they do make a helluva pizza.
Hosted by:
