This is the largest number of EO members ever to converge in Tampa, and their collective clout is impressive: the average EO member attending the event owns business/es generating $17.3 million in annual sales, employs 182 people, and is over 40 years old. Members of the EO Tampa Chapter, the host of the event, employ over 1,100 people and have median sales of $2.84 million. Some high profile members in the EO Tampa
chapter include Podfest founder Chris Krimitsos, Laura Webb of Webb Insurance Group and Cru Cellars owner Jennifer Bingham.

The EO NERVE 2023 Conference includes several outstanding keynote speakers, notably Tampa Bay Lightning owner Jeffrey Vinik, Patrick Bet-David, Host of “Valuetainment”, the #1 Youtube channel for Entrepreneurs, Trulieve CEO Kim Rivers, Odyssey Marine CEO Mark Gordon, former Telemundo President Nely Galan, and Former NFL player Trent Shelton. Breakout speakers include Nick Friedman, Tiger Lee, Robert Miles, Joe Navarro, Katie Krimitsos and Larry Roberts. The event theme is “Reinvent” and speakers will focus on challenging assumptions, inspiring attendees to think differently and encouraging members to look at issues from unique perspectives. There will also be three great evening social events and experiential learning at various off-sites in the Tampa area including JC Newman Cigar Factory, MacDill Air Force Base, Amalie Oil Factory, the Motor Enclave and the Home Shopping Network.

“While inflationary pressures and supply chain issues continue to impact growth, Entrepreneurs and small businesses will be key factors in stabilizing the U.S. economy as well as driving future growth,” explains Event Chair Matthew J. Weiss, founder of the law firm Weiss & Associates, PC and the film production company RDZ Productions, LLC. “That’s why it’s so important to continue to bring entrepreneurs together to share experiences, learn from each other and build strong networks. This event brings together intelligence, leadership, and a passion for business. It’s an incredible opportunity for expert learning, networking and peer-to-peer sharing of ideas and experiences.”
