Advancing The Line – Tampa

Join ATLVets for an evening of candid conversation and high-value networking with award-winning serial entrepreneur, author, and community leader Gary T. Hartfield.

Join ATLVets for an evening of candid conversation and high-value networking with award-winning serial entrepreneur, author, and community leader Gary T. Hartfield.

From building multimillion-dollar businesses to creating jobs for more than 100 Floridians, Gary has spent his career turning vision into reality—and helping others do the same. He’s the author of STAND (2015) and The Journey to Success (2024), an investor, consultant, and founder of the All Hart Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering and transforming communities. His throughline is simple and battle-tested: servant leadership. The conviction that a heart for others and a discipline for giving back are what separate a career from a legacy.

For our veteran community moving into executive and entrepreneurial arenas, Gary’s story is a field manual on growth, resilience, and building something that outlasts you.

What to expect:

• A fireside-style conversation on entrepreneurship, leadership, and legacy
• Practical insight on positioning a business for growth
• Premium networking with Tampa’s veteran and business leaders
• Drinks and connection in the setting of the Centre Club

Seating is limited. Reserve your spot today and advance the line with us.
