Greetings: 

It is a pleasure to welcome you to the 100 Successful Women in Business Conference and Expo on Sunday, June 30, 2024, held at the Hilton Tampa Airport Westshore in Tampa, Florida. With the theme “From Principles to Practice: Women Achieving Success in a Changing World” this event will feature dynamic discussion panels, live entertainment, fashion shows, business matchmaking, exhibits, vendors, and networking opportunities. Hosted by the Global Trade Chamber (GTC), the organizers merit special recognition for their efforts in ensuring your time in Tampa is both productive and enjoyable.

Founded  in  2008,  the  Global  Trade  Chamber  is  a  membership

While you are here, please take the opportunity to enjoy the many cultural, historical, and entertainment attractions Tampa has to offer. A visit to our ever-growing downtown area, the exciting Channelside and Ybor entertainment districts, relaxing at outdoor cafes, enjoying Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park and Water Works Park, walking along the Tampa Riverwalk or Bayshore Boulevard will provide you with plenty to see and do. Tampa’s heritage and commitment to the arts is evident with visits to the Tampa Bay History Center, the Tampa Museum of Art, and Glazer Children’s Museum. Of particular note, the new Perry Harvey, Sr. Park serving as a tribute to our city’s rich African American history and honoring its deep roots and past leaders through artistic walkways and displays. We are certain you will find your visit to be a memorable experience.

Again, welcome and best wishes for a successful and memorable conference. Sincerely,
