An Evening with Denis Phillips on Friday, May 12
In-person event at the Straz Center in Tampa, Florida
6:30 p.m. VIP meet-and-greet
8 p.m. Program
When the radar changes from green to red, Tampa Bay residents trust one cool-headed, suspender-wearing meteorologist to tell it like it is.
For decades, ABC Action News Chief Meteorologist Denis Phillips has kept Tampa Bay calm during severe weather with his famous Rule No. 7.
“Stop freaking out … until I tell you to. We’re fine.”
Now’s your chance to get to know this local icon and say thanks for keeping us informed and safe through Florida’s most intense tropical storms and hurricanes.
Join us on Friday, May 12, to learn the science behind the state’s most historic weather, discuss climate and its effect on Floridians, get safety tips for the 2023 hurricane season and have a little fun along the way. |
Tickets:
$25-$45 general admission, not including taxes and fees
$75 add-on for the VIP meet-and-greet
Includes pre-program access to a private reception with Phillips at Maestro's at the Straz Center. Enjoy hors d’oeuvres, cocktails and networking with local journalists, media executives and fellow Phillips fans. |
Do you remember a time when Phillips’ reporting helped you and your family stay safe during Florida’s wild weather events? We want to hear from you.
Everyone who shares their stories by May 9 will be entered into a drawing to win Rule No. 7 merch. Some may also be featured on social media or on stage during the event. The winner will be announced at the event on May 12. Good luck! |
