TBGBI ANNOUNCES ITS FIRST INITIATIVE TO LONDON FOR OCT 25 BUCS FOOTBALL GAME
Realizing the high level of potential media attention that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers NFL regular football game with the Boston Patriots would generate, the board of directors of the World Trade Center of Tampa Bay announced plans to conduct a "Grand Tampa Bay Showcase" mission to promote the many real estate and other investment opportunities available in the Tampa Bay area.
A blue ribbon committee of local business and civic leaders under the leadership of Bob Sharp, president and CEO of AAA South are working to develop a mission which can bring increased exposure to the entire Tampa Bay area. The committee is composed of Bob Sharp, chairman; Jim Sweat, AA Auto Club; Stephen Hayes, The Tampa Company; Keith Norden, Tampa Committee of 100; Jack Bierley and Frank Cisneros, World Trade Center; Marco Oliveri; Maddy Krasne, Engles & Volker, St. Petersburg; George Martinez, US DOC and Steve Albee, Tampa Bay World Affairs & Foreign Trade Council.
The Table Top Grand Tampa Bay Showcase will be limited to 35 companies and is open to any business or individual wishing to promote their professional services, properties or products. The Showcase is scheduled for Friday, October 23 in the Crown Plaza Hotel in downtown London starting with a morning "Invest in Tampa Bay" workshop with seven panelists representing different segments of Tampa Bay's diverse region, including commercial and residential real estate, trade, tourism, education, government and quality of life. The afternoon will consist of a Table Top Exhibition to offer collateral promotion brochures and other information and an opportunity to talk with potential customers and clients. The price to exhibit is $750.
AAA Auto Club is working on a special travel package, which includes air travel direct to London from Tampa, ground transportation, four nights in the Crown Plaza Hotel in downtown London and transportation to the game. The trip also includes a cocktail reception at the Royal Air Force Club in London. There will also be an optional rail trip to Paris for two days for those not attending the football game. Participants will be given an opportunity to choose which services they wish to take advantage of from an a la carte list. A $250 registration fee is required of all participants.

THE TAMPA BAY GLOBAL BUSINESS INITIATIVE - TBGBI IS A PARTNERSHIP OF THE TAMPA BAY WORLD TRADE CENTER & TAMPA BAY WORLD AFFAIRS COUNCIL
OPEN TO ALL REGIONAL CHAMBERS, EC0NOMIC DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATIONS, REAL ESTATE DEVELOPERS & BROKERS
Realizing the importance and need to move Tampa Bay toward a deeper appreciation and understanding of the advantages of global connections, the World Trade Center Board of Directors, under the direction of A. Bronson Thayer, Jack Bierley and Frank Cisneros, are working with the Tampa Bay World Affairs Council to initiate the TAMPA BAY GLOBAL BUSINESS INITIATIVE.
It is a revival of the highly successful initiative of the late 80's by J. Parke Wright III of Lykes, Inc. and Ben Atkins of Tampa Bay International Airport, who spearheaded the Tampa Bay Super Task Force. Their efforts led to significant international activity and to increased global recognition of Tampa Bay.
The TBGBI will pick up where they left and offer unique opportunities to promote Tampa Bay and its people to the world. It will develop programs and a series of opportunities designed to engage Tampa Bay region business and citizens in becoming informed participants as part of the global community. It shall provide a venue for concerned leaders of Tampa Bay to consider issues of importance for international economic development, trade and foreign direct investment to our community and to act on those issues in accordance with the will of the members. The Tampa Bay Global Initiative will lead a united effort of regional business leaders to develop a series of new programs which can bring new global business and trade opportunities and recognition through the Tampa Bay Global Business Initiative.
The Tampa Bay Global Business Initiative was formed by the Tampa Bay World Affairs & Foreign Trade Council and the World Trade Center Tampa Bay to provide individuals and corporate executives the opportunity to stay informed of important international economic, political, cultural and travel issues along with opportunities to develop new business abroad. It offers globally minded citizens an opportunity to hear from international experts and high level dignitaries about their perspective of major world issues and also to enlighten members on the cultures of their nations. It comes at a time when U.S. foreign policy around the world is in question, making it increasingly important to understand the decision making process in global affairs and how decisions made around the world impact us locally.
