THE CHAMBER WEEKLY

St. Pete's restaurants, cafés, and bars are the heartbeat of our city — they're where deals get done, milestones get celebrated, and our culture comes alive. But right now, the industry is under real pressure, and the Chamber is stepping up.

On Monday, June 1 from 1:00–4:00 PM, the Chamber will host the inaugural Chef's Circle Forum, a three-hour working session designed to do one thing: Saving Summer.

This isn't a panel or a lecture. It's a room full of hospitality owners, managers, and leaders — having an honest conversation about what's hard, what's possible, and what we can do about it together. From rising costs and labor challenges to softening tourism and summer revenue dips, the forum will tackle these challenges head-on— and work toward real solutions, partnerships, and advocacy.

Led by Roger Curlin, the Chamber's Director of Business Growth & Engagement, the forum is free and open to both Chamber members and non-members — but seats are limited and registration is required.

If you own or manage a restaurant, café, or bar in St. Pete, this one's for you. Register now to save your seat!
