100 Businesses.
One TBBX Group.
Here's How the Meeting Actually Works.
A TBBX group can grow to as many as 100 different business categories — but that doesn't mean 100 people sit on camera talking over each other for two hours.
Our online meetings are designed to be flexible, organized, and practical for busy Tampa Bay business owners.
No, 100 People Aren't
Talking at Once.
When we say a TBBX group can grow to 100 businesses, we're talking about the number of different business categories that can be represented in that group — not 100 people fighting for a chance to speak.
100 People Sitting on Camera for Two Hours
TBBX is not designed around forcing every member to attend every minute or giving 100 people individual speeches during a single meeting.
Up to 100 Different Business Categories
A TBBX group can bring together a broad mix of local businesses, giving members more opportunities to build relationships, make connections, and exchange referrals.
Find your industry and see where your business fits in the TBBX community.
Think of it as a business community — not a classroom.
Members can join the online meeting, participate in the conversation, meet other local business owners, make connections, and then get back to running their business. The meeting is built around flexibility and participation, not sitting silently in front of a computer for two hours.
What You'll Actually See
When You Join.
You don't have to keep track of 100 little boxes. The meeting screen adjusts as members join and participate, helping keep the conversation organized and easy to follow.
The Screen Adjusts as People Join
The meeting layout changes based on how many members are participating and what's happening in the meeting. You aren't expected to watch every member at the same time.
Up to 49 Tiles Can Be Visible
On a computer, Google Meet's tiled layout can display up to 49 participants at once when no presentation is being shared.
The Speaker Gets the Attention
Depending on the meeting layout, Google Meet can emphasize the person who's actively speaking, making conversations easier to follow.
TBBX Can Feature a Member
When we're introducing a business, making an announcement, or giving a member the floor, the host can pin selected participants so they're prominently displayed.
Join From Whatever Device
Works for You.
Same TBBX Meeting. Different Screen. Same Opportunities.
Whether you're sitting at your desk, between appointments, at a jobsite, or away from the office, you can participate in your TBBX meeting from the device that fits your workday.
You Don't Need to See Everybody at Once to Network With Everybody.
A larger screen can show more of the meeting at once, while a tablet or smartphone gives you a more focused view. Either way, you're participating in the same TBBX meeting and connecting with the same local business community.
Come In. Participate.
Get Back to Business.
TBBX isn't designed around making busy business owners sit in front of a computer for an entire meeting. Our online meeting window gives members flexibility to participate while still running their business.
Join the Meeting
When your schedule allows, open your TBBX meeting link from your computer, tablet, or smartphone and join the group.
Participate & Connect
Join the conversation, meet other local business owners, learn what they do, share what you do, and build relationships that can lead to referrals.
Get Back to Business
When you need to get back to a customer, appointment, jobsite, or the rest of your workday, you can leave the meeting and keep moving.
Two Hours Available Doesn't Mean Two Hours Required.
The meeting window gives members room to participate around their schedules. If you have the full meeting available, stay longer. If your workday only gives you part of that time, join when you can and make that time count.
When It's Your Turn,
The Room Comes to You.
A larger TBBX group doesn't mean everybody talks at once. The conversation can be organized around the member who has the floor, giving everyone else a chance to listen, learn, ask questions, and make connections.
Tell the Group Who You Are and What You Do.
When a member is being introduced, sharing something about their business, or participating in a featured segment, attention can be focused on that member instead of dozens of people competing for the screen.
That gives the group an opportunity to understand who you help, what you do, and what kind of connections or referrals you're looking for.
More Than Just Introductions.
Member Introductions
Meet the business owners in your group and learn what they do, who they serve, and how you may be able to help one another.
Featured Businesses
Members can have opportunities to receive additional attention and give the group a better understanding of their business.
Business Conversations
Ask questions, share ideas, discuss local business, and discover opportunities to connect with other members outside the meeting.
Referrals & Connections
When you hear a member describe the customer they're looking for, you may realize you know exactly the person they should meet.
