Basel tech picks during Miami Art Week
Capping off a year that saw a Miami tech boom, the community that made it happen is organizing a flurry of events for Miami Art Week.
They’re calling it TechBasel: dozens of gatherings that come with a technology bent. And they’re not just NFT-oriented.
We asked Ja’dan Johnson from Miami Hack Week, Upstream, Florida Funders, and an all around #MiamiTech gadfly for his top picks.
