First Pitch Florida 2024 Essential Information

WEEKEND SPACE and HEADQUARTERS: All sessions will be located on the second floor of the St. Petersburg Clearwater Marriott in Ballrooms Clearwater A, Clearwater B and the Tampa Room. There will be a registration desk staffed by BaseballHQ reps throughout the weekend and should be your first stop with any questions, concerns, room temperature requests, etc.

CELL PHONES: Please keep your devices in “silent” mode during all presentations.

SOCIAL MEDIA POSTING about the sessions is encouraged, however, please use your discretion regarding the amount of information you share. We want to avoid devaluing this event for future attendees. We want all your followers here next year, right? Use the hashtag #FPFLA24 throughout the weekend.

NEED A RIDE? OFFER A RIDE? We do not provide transportation to the Saturday ballgame. However, in our previous events, there has always been enough attendees with cars available so that everyone has a ride. If you need a ride, or can offer a ride, please participate in our match-making session at the first break on Saturday morning. Or ... tap someone in the lobby on the way out on Saturday at noon.

SATURDAY GAME TICKETS/INFORMATION: Digital tickets to Saturday’s game between the Braves and Blue Jays were distributed when you checked in. See a BaseballHQ rep with any questions. Estimated drive time from the hotel is 30 minutes, and the address is:

TD Ballpark 373 Douglas Ave, Dunedin, FL 34698 

Note that the stadium is in a largely residential area and does not have a dedicated parking lot. Many area businesses and homeowners rent parking spaces on gamedays; it's a good idea to bring cash with you for that transaction. 

HANDOUTS/SLIDE DECKS: There will be a few digital handouts that will be available electronically throughout the weekend. Also, note that any PowerPoints or slide decks used will be available for download next week—so no need to scramble for the notes on the big screen, as you’ll have access to them very shortly.

ATTENDEE SURVEY: It is very important that you complete the attendee survey. We treat these surveys seri- ously, and design future programs based on your input. In fact, completing it is the perfect thing to do while waiting at your airport gate! We'll have a link on the home page site later in the weekend.
