What you need to know about Synapse Summit, Tampa Bay’s marquee tech event

The Synapse Summit started five years ago with the mission of bringing entrepreneurs, investors and key players in the tech space all under one roof, and this year's event will carry out the same goal - but on a much bigger scale.

The Synapse Summit will be a one-day event at Tampa's Amalie Arena Feb. 17. The event attracts investors throughout the state and gives the local startup community a spotlight. Synapse CEO and co-founder Brian Kornfeld recalls the moment they kicked off the summit in 2018.
