About Cuppa Jax

Based on Tampa’s successful Café con Tampa events, Cuppa Jax is launching this fall, holding gatherings for neighborhood and community leaders that are open to everyone in Jacksonville. Join us on Wednesday mornings in the Skyline Room in the Riverplace Tower on the Southbank to discuss important issues facing our city.

Scheduled speakers will talk for 10-15 minutes. The rest of the time is spent with Q&A and discussion of relevant issues brought up by participants. We also encourage attendees to make community announcements at the beginning of the program.

Directions

Meet at Riverplace Tower, also known as the Ameris Bank building. This is a walkable location along the Southbank Riverwalk and also convenient to JTA’s First Coast Flyer and the Skyway’s Riverplace Station.

There is limited free street parking, and paid parking is also available in a neighboring surface lot and garage.
