Description
Keep Saint Petersburg Local presents its new series, #MeetStPete, featuring panels & workshops led by some of our city’s favorite local business owners + socials. The series provides unique opportunities to meet, learn from and really connect with existing & aspiring local business owners; as well as other dreamers, doers, shakers and makers.
Each month will highlight a particular theme/industry. Whereas all events are open to everyone in our community, those who are already part of/want to be part of that month’s highlighted industry are especially encouraged to attend.

spirit is not just embodied in its painters, potters, sculptors, musicians,
