Transformation & Transcendence! A Lifelong Learners of Tampa Bay Event

Transformation & Transcendence! happens Tuesday, October 20, at The Dance Factory in Westshore Plaza, part of the Lifelong Learners of Tampa Bay series. It's put on by Mind Map Renovations and RELPro Events & Entertainment, both working under the broad theme of personal development. The night is built for a room of around 150 people, so it's a decent-sized crowd without feeling like a stadium.

The evening follows a specific format. It starts with two short-form talks, each up to 15 minutes with five minutes for questions. After a ten-minute break, a keynote speaker takes the stage for up to half an hour, followed by a fifteen-minute Q&A. The night wraps up with a final panel that brings all the speakers back on stage together. If you're the kind of person who likes to hear a few different perspectives in one sitting rather than one long lecture, this is exactly that.

The venue is The Dance Factory, inside Westshore Plaza at 334 Westshore Plaza, Space A 10, in the Westshore neighborhood. The organizers describe it as a hidden gem with good lighting and audio, and there's plenty of ground-level parking under the AMC. For the speakers, there's a professional videographer on hand and a table to sell their products or services to the local lifelong-learners community.

Doors open at 6:30 PM, and the event runs from 7 PM to 9 PM. Tickets are $19 before taxes and fees.
