The Family Forum (October)
Friday, October 2, 2026 (9:00 AM - 11:30 AM) (EDT)
Description
The St. Pete Chamber is launching a quarterly Forum to address the unique needs, challenges, and perspectives of generational family businesses in the St. Pete area. Our goal is to create dialogue, education, resources, and collaboration focused on trends, solutions, and best practices. Common areas of concern are succession, staffing, marketing, leadership transition, operational changes, asset preservation and more. This group is designed for St. Petersburg Area Chamber of Commerce members. Non-chamber businesses may come as a guest to one quarterly session. To participate, businesses must be family-owned, family-operated, and have at least two generations involved. (up to 4 people may attend from each business) The forum is 2.5 hours with a comfort break, followed by an optional Dutch-lunch nearby.
Agenda (9am – 11:30am):
- Welcome and Framing the Forum
