Tampa Bay Technology Forum

History

The Tampa Bay Technology Forum was launched in late 2000 to convene the region's growing number of technology and internet-based company entrepreneurs. The organization's early beginnings were humble: quarterly meetings at local hotels and bars where conversation and ideas flowed freely, deals done and valuable connections made.

Today, Tampa Bay Technology Forum (TBTF) is a group of people united to make Tampa Bay a place where technology-based business and innovation thrives. By providing a unified voice for the region’s technology economy, we articulate our members’ shared vision for the high tech, high wage economic future of this area. We also provide, through our networks and programs, a unique catalyst for relationship creation and collaborative partnerships that will help us build the dynamic, world-class technology marketplace we envision.

TBTF’s diverse membership includes over 450 companies representing over 45,000 employees. Our support network of sponsors continues to grow. We are eager to serve you and help your business and its people achieve their goals.
