Pharmaceutical Advisory Board Meeting in Tampa, FL
Gravel Experiential brought together 40 pharmaceutical leaders for their annual advisory board meeting in Tampa, Florida, leaning hard into the city's legendary pirate culture to create a multi-day experience that balanced serious business with serious fun.
The Epicurean Hotel served as the home base for meetings, meals, and accommodations, providing the sophisticated backdrop this group deserved.
The adventure kicked off at The Edge, the hotel's rooftop, with a welcome reception featuring the Bay Kings Band and airbrush art stations. Attendees arrived to custom room drops loaded with branded wearables and pirate necessities, because if you're going to Tampa, you commit to the bit.
The final night took the group off-property and onto the water. The Pirate Water Taxi delivered stunning views of Tampa Bay and an AI photo booth experience before the crew disembarked at Morgan's Cove, a one-of-a-kind pirate bar and speakeasy, for the ultimate send-off.
It was a masterclass in how to make a pharmaceutical advisory board meeting actually unforgettable.
