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
