Last month, Pinellas County Economic Development, with our partners at the City of St. Petersburg, shared the advantages of a Pinellas-based location for business owners and entrepreneurs at Collision in Toronto. Billed as a crossroads for the world's largest buyers and sellers of technology, the 25,000 attendees included many of the world's most recognizable brands, alongside disruptive technology startups. The audience was very receptive to learning more about the business climate in Pinellas County and were already aware of our world-famous beaches, thanks to our colleagues at Visit St. Pete/Clearwater. Learn more about the Collision conference, in
this story from Bloomberg, where our own Andrea Falvey is quoted!
