Celebrating their fifth year, FIBO defines itself as an event geared towards same gender-loving people of all colors, bringing together women and men of various ages, socio-economic, and cultural backgrounds, for a day of fun and networking at the beach. The mantra for this year's FIBO event was ‘Be Yourself,’ speaking directly to the essence of FIBO’s clientele: upwardly mobile, educated professionals of all genders who can identify what a good time is.
