Andrews Strategic Holdings (ASH) will host the ASH Tampa Bay Community & Innovation Festival, a free public event celebrating local businesses, entrepreneurs, technology, entertainment, and the Tampa Bay community that has been home to ASH since its founding.

Held in Hillsborough County, the festival will bring together Tampa-area families, small businesses, students, entrepreneurs, job seekers, community organizations, and local leaders for a full day of activities designed to create direct opportunities for residents while showcasing businesses operating throughout the region.

A Tampa Small Business Marketplace will give local restaurants, retailers, makers, and entrepreneurs space to sell products and introduce their businesses to attendees. ASH companies will host free workshops on business planning, financial literacy, technology, cybersecurity, and entrepreneurship. Local startup founders can also participate in live pitch sessions for mentorship and potential investment consideration through the Andrews investment network.

The festival will feature a Career & Opportunity Pavilion connecting Tampa Bay residents with employers, internships, training programs, and career resources. Students will have access to hands-on technology demonstrations and opportunities to meet professionals working in finance, artificial intelligence, media, energy, and other growing industries.

Entertainment will be anchored by Gulf Coast Wrestling Alliance, featuring a special live GCWA event alongside local performers and family activities. Gulf Coast media companies will provide event coverage and digital programming highlighting Tampa businesses, entrepreneurs, and community organizations.

Following ASH's transition into a publicly traded company, the festival reflects a commitment to ensuring the company's growth continues to create opportunities in the community where its story began.

Admission will be free. Local nonprofit organizations will be invited to participate throughout the festival, with charitable fundraising incorporated into the day's activities.

ASH was built in Tampa. The ASH Tampa Bay Community & Innovation Festival is an opportunity to celebrate that history while investing in the people and businesses building Tampa's future.
