Social activities

In addition to formal one-to-one meetings, Network USA provides exceptional opportunities for informal networking.

Kayaking– Sunday 4 March- The Art of Nature

The beauty of nature in Tampa Bay has to be experienced up close and personal.  Enjoy a leisurely paddle in a kayak as you meet some of our neighbors – great blue herons, egrets, jumping mullet, manatees and perhaps even a dolphin.  You’ll explore the flora and fauna of Florida’s coast, as you paddle beautiful mangrove tunnels that lead through the tidal forests into quiet lagoons at Weedon Island Preserve.

But in case that’s not exciting enough for you – how about kayaking on a poker run? Compete against fellow kayakers, collecting cards as you go.  Try to make the best poker hand of the day and win a fabulous prize! (as if bragging rights weren’t enough).

Places are limited to 50 and will be on a first-come-first-served basis. You will be prompted to confirm your attendance on the scheduling system on the diary page.

The opening reception – Sunday 4 March

Just in time to catch the sunset, we’ll meet for a welcome reception at Oystercatchers.  Grab some food, a cold beverage, and join your colleagues on the patio or on the beach to feel the sand between your toes as we enjoy live music and entertainment.

Dress code will be casual. Again you will be prompted to confirm your attendance on the scheduling system on the diary page.

 Monday 5 March- The Art of Entertainment

The Network Dinner is a full evening of music, dancing, live performances and plenty of surprises as we celebrate The Art of Entertainment. 

Begin with drinks and appetizers while you take in the night lights of Tampa.  Let’s step inside where you’ll be treated to first class dining in the Tampa Museum of Art.  After dessert on the terrace, dust off those dancing shoes because we’re going to cut loose and party on into the night.  It’s a night of high-energy, interactive fun that’s sure to be memorable!

We look forward to seeing you in Tampa - where we have networking down to an art.
