When it comes to connecting people and making things happen, Harry Chippas isn’t just part of the conversation — he’s leading it.
Next week at our BEN (Business Education Network) Workshop, we’re honored to welcome Harry Chippas as one of our featured speaker’s where he’ll present:
Cross-Community Connections – The Future of Purpose-Driven Networking
About Harry
Harry has been with Spectrum for nearly 14 years and currently serves as a key force in Spectrum Business, where he’s spent the past 8 years helping entrepreneurs and business owners grow their reach and bridging relationships. But his impact goes far beyond internet service — Harry is the embodiment of purpose-driven connection.
A proud St. Pete resident since 2013, Harry is deeply invested in his community. He serves as:
A St. Pete Chamber Ambassador
A Board Member for the Grand Central District
A passionate advocate for the EDGE District
He believes that every connection is an opportunity to give back, and he lives this mission every day.
A Champion Connector
From 2023-2025, Harry was named the #1 Connector in Tampa Bay by BNI Referral Masters – BNI Tampa, where he also ranked #1 in referrals across the region. His genuine approach to networking, relationship-building, and community service is what sets him apart.
Whether he’s at a business roundtable or a beach cleanup, Harry is always looking for ways to uplift others — and he’s rarely alone. You’ll often find him and his son, Avery, side-by-side volunteering at local events, district cleanups, or cheering on their neighbors’ success.
Why You Should Hear Harry Speak
Harry’s session at the BEN Workshop will dive into how strategic, meaningful relationships across industries and communities are shaping the future of business. He’ll share:
How to network with purpose, not pressure

Why cross-community collaboration is essential for long-term growth
You’ll walk away with real tools, new perspectives, and maybe even a few new connections of your own.
