The Annual Tampa Reception is held on the Monday before USSOCOM’s SOF Industry Conference (SOFIC), an event that brings a large, SOF-focused community to Tampa. In 2017 we hosted 850+ attendees from government, industry, and academia.

1 FREE SPACE FOR CORPORATE PARTNERS.With the support of Port Tampa, we offer our Corporate Sponsors space to show off their wares and capabilities. Spaces can be adapted for each Partner’s needs...In past years we’ve had inflatable shoot houses, scotch bars, and hands-on demos.

2A FULL WEEK OF OPPORTUNITY.The big GSF reception goes down on Monday night, but we keep Terminal 2 open for the duration of SOFIC. That gives displaying Partners an operational hub that they can bring SOFIC attendees to for meetings and capability demonstrations, a little outside of the hubbub of the Tampa Convention Center.

3NETWORKING WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE.If you want to do business with the United States special operations community, this is a can’t-miss event. Industry, government and military representatives with a stake in SOF show up from across the globe, and the GSF will help make sure that you talk to people with whom you can mutually benefit.

4 IT’S A GOOD TIME.We won’t lie...this event is fun! It’s good for business, and it’s good for you! If you don’t qualify because you’re NOT a Corporate Partner, what’s stopping you? Contact Stephen Jones at [email protected] to learn how you can join our team.
