St. Pete Pitch Night (POSTPONED)
UPDATE:
As we’ve prepared for St. Pete Pitch Night, we’ve worked closely with the University of South Florida St. Petersburg (USFSP), local, state and federal agencies to monitor the evolving coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. The health and safety of our Greenhouse community is our highest priority.
The University of South Florida campus has been so gracious in collaborating with the Greenhouse community to host our St. Pete Pitch Night Spring 2020 event. As of today, March 11th, USFSP leadership has determined the best course of action is to postpone any upcoming large events/crowds with over 100+ participants. We must adhere to these safety guidelines to avoid any posed public health risks. With that said, we will be rescheduling St. Pete Pitch Night, originally scheduled for tomorrow: March 12, 2020.
Looking ahead, our goal is to host St. Pete Pitch Night on a future date during our annual Small Business Week from May 3rd-9th, 2020.
Even though this situation is beyond our control, we are fully engaged, pushing forward to go above and beyond for our Greenhouse community. We appreciate your understanding during this time.
If you wish to hold your spot for our later date, but cannot make this future rearrangement, you are entitled to a refund. If you wish to receive an immediate full-refund today, please contact Brittany Cagle by phone, 239-898-3038 or by email, bcagle@stpete.com.
