Thank you for your commitment to show up, step up, and speak up "for good" as a SessionMaster for ENCOUNTER 360° TAMPA BAY. This Page is your evolving guide to things you might want to know as you plan your Session for our signature event.

ECOUNTER 360° | ROOFTOP 220 INDOOR SPACE

Rooftop 220 provides a window into the Heights neighborhood as an indoor / outdoor venue adjacent to Armature Works. The open air deck offers unparalleled views of the Hillsborough River, Downtown Tampa as well as Armature Works and the Heights development. Our Sessions will be held within the 1600 Sq. Ft.

Intentionally avoiding the tradional layout, we will not have a stage or a podium and the table layout will not be theatre or classroom style.
