Our Ecosystem Evaluated

• Building Innovators & Entrepreneurs in Our Community

• How to Build a Connected Ecosystem.

• Digital Infrastructure

• Digital Literacy

Audience Interaction: The first “Ideathon” where audience members share their ideas on an “IDEA Board” created for this event. This allows for a unique interactive experience for audience members to engage with top leaders in the community directly and get candid feedback. This platform connects audience members to other members to connect and build a community around shared ideas. Additionally, this allows for Carla and the Ideatrr team in the Valley to see the traction and how Miami responds to an Ideation platform. The information is used for analytics and progressive development to enhance our ecosystem. Data put to work!
