I saw it for myself. Miami is destined to become a technology center. We attended eMerge Americas, a two-day technology event.  

EMerge said, “The first day was filled with excitement as 13,000 attendees converged at the Miami Beach Convention Center for eMERGE 2016. Manny Medina, founder of eMERGE Americas, kicked off the event sharing his vision with the world of making Miami the next big information and tech hub with such an amazing event.”

The numbers:
+400 Companies Represented
110 Startups in the showcase

This is all good news for me. I hope to be involved in the growth of tech in Miami.
