Thinking Outside the 'Burg Benchmarking Trip Presented By L5 - New Orleans

May 18, 2026 - May 20, 2026

Description

Thinking Outside The ’Burg

A Leadership Benchmarking Experience for Forward-Thinking Community Builders

Thinking Outside The ’Burg (TOTB) is the St. Petersburg Area Chamber’s premier executive benchmarking trip designed for bold leaders who want to bring fresh ideas, innovation, and strategic insight back to our community.

This curated, multi-day experience brings together Chamber investors, business executives, and community changemakers to explore how another thriving city approaches economic development, workforce, entrepreneurship, hospitality, transportation, and quality-of-life initiatives.

Participants engage in:

  • Exclusive behind-the-scenes tours
  • Private leadership sessions with local industry experts
  • Intentional networking with fellow St. Pete leaders
  • Curated dining and cultural experiences
  • High-impact discussions designed to spark actionable ideas

This is not a conference — it’s a relationship-building, strategy-shaping experience.
