The Chefs Circle Forum (June)
Monday, June 1, 2026 (1:00 PM - 4:00 PM) (EDT)
Description
St. Pete's restaurants and bars provide so much of the flavor, culture, vibrancy, and economic activity in our community for visitors and residents alike, we aren't St. Pete without them. As an industry, hospitality is facing numerous headwinds from economic pressures on the consumer, labor challenges, significant inflation on cost of goods/energy/leasing, softening tourism, and an ever-widening competitive environment. Summer is an historically difficult revenue period for hospitality.
This Forum's inaugural 3-hour meet-up is focused on "Saving Summer" designed to:
- (1) Identify the challenges in detail;
- (2) Explore opportunities & resources;
- (3) Create solutions, strategies, advocacy, and actions.
Attendees must be owners/managers/leaders at restaurants and bars. Non-Chamber members can attend one Forum session as a guest before deciding on membership and access to future Forums.
