USF International Business Forum
April 1, 2026
8:00 AM - 2:30 PM
USF Marshall Student Center

Hosted by USF World, Muma College of Business, and the Office of University Community Partnerships

We’re excited to announce the Third Annual USF International Business Forum.

This signature event showcases the University of South Florida’s commitment to global engagement and its role in strengthening the region’s international business ecosystem.

The theme, Global-Driven Growth in the Tampa Bay Region, is especially timely. Tampa was recently ranked the #1 U.S. city for foreign companies to do business by the Financial Times and Nikkei, underscoring the region’s growing global influence. The Forum will bring together business leaders, policymakers, and innovators for expert panels, thought-provoking conversations, interactive educational exhibits, and meaningful relationship building.

Forum highlights include:

  • Key insights from Florida Department of Commerce Secretary Alex Kelly followed by Fireside Chat with Michael Simas, President and CEO of the Florida Council of 100
  • A signature panel on Foreign Direct Investment: Global Companies, Local Growth
  • Luncheon remarks by Patrik Hansson, Chief Revenue Officer of AquaFence followed by Fireside Chat with Jennifer Crabtree, President of Tampa Medical & Research District and SVP at Tampa General Hospital
  • An interactive Expo highlighting resources that drive global business success in Tampa Bay
