SB2 | REGIONAL BIG IDEAS SYMPOSIA LUNCHEON SERIES

 

SB2 is a community and business initiative featuring a series of collaborative symposiums on key regional issues and topics. SB2 focuses on the collaboration between Sarasota and Bradenton and catalyzes relevant and future-focused regional dialogue through a special keynote speaker and facilitated panel discussion with representatives from both counties on topics impacting our regional economy: from education to philanthropy from economic development to workforce development, from healthcare to aging and from manufacturing to the development of the cultural arts.  SB2 includes breakfast symposium in Sarasota. When you become a member, you will also be invited to join us for the SB2 Rumbles, which feature a debate format on a vibrant community issue hosted at the Powel Crosley Mansion.

Forging reciprocal ongoing partnerships with community organizations, businesses and nonprofits through continual conversation and support, SRQ MEDIA is constantly on the look out for ways in which to connect its partners with opportunity.
