Vertical Ventures hosts Creative Mornings Tampa Bay.

Our theme for April is SPICY. 

When you’re cooking, spices add flavor, depth, and complexity to an otherwise plain culinary dish. Spicy foods interact with receptors in our mouth and can trigger sensations of heat and even pain. Can you handle it? Being open to trying new and bold tastes is a good lesson for bringing daring and originality into all of our creative endeavors. As they say, “variety is the spice of life.”

Spicy can also be exciting and suggestive. A spicy comment or joke is provocative or controversial. Such “spicy takes” often challenge conventional beliefs and ignite strong, passionate reactions from people.

So, how can you make your work and approach to life spicier?  Let’s bring the heat!

We’ll have our beverage buddies TeBella Tea there, Mother Kombucha!

Tasty treats provided by Sans Market! You can expect options for our GF/V friends.

Doors open at 8:30am, programming starts at 9:00a, speakers on-stage by 9:30. Pre-registration is required (but free!). Lots of parking is available in front of the building. VV is located right on the Pinellas Trail, so feel free to walk, bike, carpool, or take public transportation as well.

In order to ensure our global impact is more about great ideas than garbage, we ask that you please BRING YOUR OWN MUG. Big ol’ gold star if you bring a mug AND a friend!

Eniko will be joined by friends from Renuable and Suncoast Surfrider Foundation to talk about how it’s getting hot in here…as in the world is getting hotter and there are some specific things we can do in the local St. Pete and Tampa area to be educated advocates and change makers.

Registration goes live on the website April 22nd.
