About this Event

Join hundreds of business, government and nonprofit leaders at the annual State of the Region Community Luncheon to discuss affordability and implications on our regional talent pipeline. The event will be held on the USF Tampa Campus, Marshall Center Ballroom, 4103 USF Cedar Circle, Tampa, Florida 33620.

Experts will unveil the region’s progress in over 60 indicators, which help track our competitiveness compared to 19 top markets nationwide. At the 2026 State of the Region Community Luncheon, we will explore what we do well, where we can improve, and how leaders and the community can come together to move the needle on our greatest challenges.

By combining innovative, real-time data with traditional economic indicators, we are generating valuable insights that will accelerate solutions and strengthen the region.

The 2026 State of the Region Community Luncheon is hosted by the Tampa Bay Partnership and USF Muma College of Business.

The event celebrates the release of two complementary reports; the 2026 Regional Competitiveness Report, produced by the Tampa Bay Partnership and collaborating partners Community Foundation Tampa Bay and United Way Suncoast, and real-time data from the 2026 Tampa Bay E-Insights Report, produced by USF Muma College of Business.

The event is made possible by our presenting sponsor, Grow Financial.
