Miami Tech Works

Dear Coalition Members, After thoughtful discussions with our team and partners, we’ve decided to reschedule this week’s Miami Tech Talent Coalition Meeting. The location and program will stay the same, but the new date will be Thursday, October 24th at The HUB at Office Logic. If you RSVP’d via Luma, you will receive an updated calendar invitation. If you did not RSVP, you can do so via this link: https://lu.ma/0st9ax7t This change is in response to the evolving situation with Hurricane Milton. While Miami may be spared the worst of it, we recognize that many of our friends and family across the state will be facing tough challenges, and we want to remain respectful and mindful of the circumstances. We look forward to seeing you all later this month. In the meantime, let’s keep our neighbors in our thoughts, especially those who are in the storm’s path. We truly appreciate your understanding and continued support. Stay safe, and we can’t wait to see you on October 24th! Reginald Andre Selenis B. Leguisamon Victoria Santamarina Olga Naumovich Ken Finneran Charles C. Irizarry Noelle Jackson Eric Williams Aurelia Edwards
