3 for 60 lightning talks

Three innovators tell three different stories during a 60-minute exploration of innovative initiatives at work in TGH. Our 3 for 60 Talks are a twist on the typical panel discussion and a front-row seat to innovation happening down the hall and across the Tampa General region.

Rather than a standard Q&A with a moderator and panelists, TGH will feature three separate, hour-long events, each with three speakers delivering three individual presentations around a central, cohesive theme. From the front line to the service line to the bottom line, each talk will highlight how TGH leaders and teams are inspiring, empowering, and practicing innovation every day.
