GMCC launches new tech networking event

February 28, 2012·Nancy Dahlberg

Kevin Levy, chair of the Greater Miami Chamber's Technology Committee, sent along this information about a new networking event on Thursday.

The Greater Miami Chamber's Technology Committee will be hosting a new event this year from 5:30 p.m.-8 p.m. on Thursday, March 1, titled MIAMI'S GOT TECH! - Where Innovation, Business and Talent Meet. This will be an incredible networking event (expected attendance of 150)  created to bring together our leading South Florida technology companies and top technology talent from area universities, colleges and technical schools. The evening, held at Miami's newest and coolest high tech venue, 600 Brickell Avenue, promises to be a lively interactive event where you will meet, talk and share tech with the best South Florida has to offer.

Levey says that "too many sharp, smart and savvy technology students are not aware of all of the technology jobs (of all  levels and types) available in South Florida, and too many South Florida  technology companies are not aware of all of the sharp, smart and savvy technology students in South Florida. To grow the technology community ecosystem, we need to bring these groups together."

There is a charge for the event -- if you register in advance, it's $25 for members, $35 for nonmembers and free for university students with ID (at the door: $50). Go here to register and find out more.
