About TBBF
A different kind of
business network.
Tampa Bay Business Forum is an invite-only group of 24 professionals who meet regularly, know each other well, and refer each other intentionally. It’s been operating in the Tampa Bay area for over a decade.
How it works
The Tampa Bay Business Forum is a Business-to-Business member organization and a forum to network in a professional atmosphere. Sales professionals and business leaders that sell primarily or totally to business enterprises are invited to apply.
The group provides a resource of information for business professionals and topics of common interest. Through active participation, members can promote their own businesses, give presentations, increase their visibility, and exchange referrals.
When a TBBF member refers you to one of our colleagues, you arrive with context. The professional you’re meeting knows who you are, why you need them, and that you were introduced by someone they trust.
One seat per industry
Each professional category holds exactly one member. When your category is filled, it's filled. No conflicts, no competing colleagues at the table.
Referrals are personal
When a TBBF member refers you, they're putting their reputation on it. That weight is what makes the introductions meaningful.
Consistency over volume
Members show up, stay engaged, and refer deliberately. The group's value compounds over time through relationships built on follow-through.
Membership by introduction only
Every member was brought in by someone already in the group. New members are vetted and approved before they ever attend a meeting.
Membership
Every member joined because an existing member vouched for them and the group approved the fit. Each category holds one seat — if yours is open, you can submit an application for committee review.
