If you are a young adult this is the perfect group to try out with the most active group in the area. This is the fastest growing group in Tampa since I launched this back in May. This is now one of the most popular groups in the area with many events having 50+ on the weekends. Very often once a member attend one of our events the first time they sign up for another 5 events I have a good amount of regulars at events which help break the ice for newer members at our events. Events I offer will be a range of big ones and smaller ones. This meetup isn’t the typical bar hopping ones. I offer events like hiking, kayaking, arts & crafts, book club, dancing, pickleball, outdoor adventures, unique events like field day games. I pledge to make this a very active group with many different events. I like to have a balance of big events like beach days and top golf and smaller events trying to group other peoples hobbies together. Target people who like hiking, yoga, camping, beach days, kayaking, water sports, campfires, sunset, star gazing, biking, etc. As someone who grew up in Utah with the outdoors, I am looking to connect other outdoor lovers like myself too. IMPORTANT GROUP POLICY If you can no longer make it to an event you need to either update your rsvp or message one of the organizers. I understand something comes up no worries please respect our time it takes a lot time and effort to organize events which we do volunteer. After 2 times no showing without updating rsvp will result in removal in group. This will be strictly enforced with our members we haven’t met yet.

Walking Innovators is a hiking group for entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, local professionals, and innovators with a unique format: combine walking/hiking activities with brainstorming, intellectually stimulating conversations, etc. Meet other innovators, get advice, bounce ideas, learn something new, make friends, and find help and support from your peers - professionals in the same or similar industries - all while hiking and enjoying nature. You won't even notice, as you get more fit, improve your posture and get a good workout in the most natural way (just as our ancestors did), while doing their daily chores. The human body requires a lot of movement to stay healthy (10000 steps daily recommended by the American Heart Association) and the Austin metropolitan area offers some great trails/views and plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities. We can start with some simple yet effective walking and exercise techniques (courtesy of my chiropractor and gymnastic in structor in Europe) while discussing various topics of interest. We hope that the fresh air, beautiful nature, and interesting conversations with other innovators will inspire us to come up with new ideas, find teams/partners, create amazing projects, launch start-ups, and maximize our potential in general. Topics can be suggested for each meetup and we can form interest groups for every hike - anything from technology to management, education, etc. We can also team up with other meetups and expand our horizons. Feel free to provide your suggestions, new ideas, and comments - we look forward to exploring opportunities that this new format presents. The Walking Innovators group was first started in SF Bay Area in August of 2011 and expanded to Hawaii (Oahu), Los Angeles and Austin, TX. Now we are thrilled to restart the group for the new generation of entrepreneurs and innovators.

Looking forward to your friendship & company! Sincerely, Michele Smith Organizer for the Tampa Bay Young Professionals  \*\* This is a group for civic-minded people who like to have fun while striving to be safety-conscious and to avoid spread, not only for ourselves but for the good of broader community and economy, in Tampa Bay and beyond. If you have supported fun, responsible activity while looking out for others, then this is the group for you. \*\* Terms & Conditions \- All Meetup account terms apply\, including no soliciting of services or personal agendas to individual members\. Share other ideas for the benefit of the group by contacting organizers about creating an event\. \- To be in our group\, a nice photo is required that shows the member's face\. Please see new PHOTO Guidelines below\.  \- Also\, many members have expressed happiness at finding a Meetup group with peers in Tampa Bay of a younger age range\, and we do maintain this by generally requiring that new members be age 23 \- 39 \(we selectively stretch this\)\. Other requirements include answering profile questions and joining as an individual \(mention significant other\, if applicable\, but introduce one person in profile\)\. Thanks\. \- Annual membership is $5\. This group is financially possible thanks to member support\, so become a Supporting Member with a donation of $5/year \~ now that’s a good deal\! Member support allows us to cover the fees charged by Meetup\.com\. Supporting the group financially contributes to the ongoing success and stability of the group\. Supporting Members are given preference and have had priority access to special events\! Most of all\, you will enjoy the satisfaction of helping make future activities and friendships possible\. \- PHOTO Guidelines: We require a nice face pic of the member\, on the member's group profile\. Here are a few photo issues popping up recently:  \* No photo showing at all (photo must be selected specific to group).  \* Photo does not show member. \* Distant, or Can barely see member's face. \* Shirtless, or tone that doesn't match our group (Guys, we won't have this in our group).  \* Thumbnail photos (perhaps due to Facebook link and Meetup bug?). \* Multiple people in photo, without a note in profile to clarify which is the member.  \* Sunglasses -- we used to welcome people into the group with opaque/reflective sunglasses, but this was happening with increasing frequency, so we're now encouraging everyone to show their eyes.  The point is to share a nice face pic, to match the friendly, fun, appropriate tone of the group. We ask for this photo for a variety of reasons, including to help members know who will be at events. Thanks!
