Fifth Global Special Operations Foundation Reception to Feature Speed Networking, Bourbon Tasting, and More at Waterfront Venue in Tampa
The Global Special Operations Forces (SOF) Foundation hosts an annual Tampa Reception, presented by Bank of America Merrill Lynch, on the Monday of SOFIC week in Florida. This year's May 20, 2019 event is in a new waterfront venue and offers unique networking and business growth opportunities.
TAMPA, Fla., May 14, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Global Special Operations Forces (SOF) Foundation will celebrate its fifth anniversary next week, with exciting additions to its annual reception. The Foundation was born five years ago on the Monday of Tampa's Special Operations Forces Industry Conference, better known as SOFIC, and it has continued to hold a large anniversary reception on the Monday of the event every year since.
This iteration of the reception will be the biggest celebration yet. This will be the second year in a row that Bank of America Merrill Lynch is the Title Sponsor of the reception, and its support has allowed the event to grow and offer more opportunities to attendees.
One such opportunity is the structured Speed Networking session that serves as the event's "icebreaker," allowing attendees to expand their personal and professional networks right from the start. Speed Networking is currently on a waitlist, but additional slots may open at the end of the week prior to the event. Global SOF Foundation Corporate Partner Crisis Response Company has generously sponsored Speed Networking.
There will also be a VIP Pre-Reception, which is only open to representatives from Global SOF Foundation Corporate Partners. This allows the community of Global SOF Foundation partners to have some time to re-connect and engage, while also getting early access to the event refreshments. World Wide Technology, a Global SOF Foundation Founding Partner, is sponsoring this exclusive reception.
This reception is all about growing and strengthening the global SOF community, and the unique sponsorships at the event make it an exciting environment for those interactions. This year's sponsorships include:
- Bourbon Tasting, sponsored by Insitu, a Boeing Company
- Local Beer Tasting, sponsored by Axiologic Solutions
- Nacho and Corona Bar, sponsored by Oracle National Security
- Nitro Ice Cream, sponsored by Tampa Microwave
- VIP Pre-Reception, sponsored by WWT and F5
- Slider Station, sponsored by Northrop Grumman
- Cigar Roller, sponsored by CACI
- Trailblazer Trail Mix, sponsored by Akima, and more!
Other sponsors include Victor42, Worldwide Risk Management, and SOFTACT, and other Global SOF Foundation Partners will be contributing as exhibitors.
Another important change to this year's reception is the venue. This year's Annual Tampa Reception will take place at Armature Works--a historical and recently updated waterfront venue that's in a trendy area on the Tampa Riverwalk.
