The 2025 SMPS Strategic Planning session brought our leadership team together to discuss priorities, set ambitious goals, and shape a clear vision for the year ahead. In between thoughtful discussions and collaborative planning, we rolled up our sleeves for a hands-on bonsai tree workshop, a creative reminder that growth takes patience, care, and intentional effort. A huge thank you to our new and returning volunteers. We’ve planted the roots for success, and we’re ready to grow!

Last week's Summer Social was one for the books as we brought together over 50 AEC professionals from across the Greater Tampa Bay Region to get social with SMPS Tampa Bay! Hosted at 3 Daughters Brewing and complete with Mingle Bingo, raffle prizes, cold brews, great conversations, and a spectacular photo popup with Pinstripe Marketing, we couldn't be more thrilled to have hosted such an energy-fueled networking event.

From marketers and business developers to principals, owners, and technical professionals, this event was the convergence of the diverse talent driving AEC forward. Because no matter the function of your role, marketing matters.

Special thanks to Pinstripe Marketing for our epic popup photo station and to 3 Daughters Brewing for hosting and providing our raffle prizes. (Congrats again to our lucky winners, Rob Langejans and Emily Falcone)

If you loved this event (or had to miss out) mark your calendar for our End-of-Year Social on 8/28. We’ve got more community, more connections, and more chances to build business coming your way!

We’re swapping the usual meeting room for a summer social mixer—because relationship-building doesn’t have to happen over coffee or conference calls. This is your opportunity to mingle, unwind, and meet fellow professionals who understand the unique rhythm of the AEC industry.

This event is open to both members and non-members—so bring a friend, bring your team, or come solo and meet someone new. Just don't miss it! We can't wait to see you there! Registration includes one free drink. Small bites and apps will be provided.
