Last night we cel­e­brated another great year of Refresh­Mi­ami mee­tups (slideshow here).

Dur­ing the year, our mem­ber­ship dou­bled as we acco­mo­dated about 35 pre­sen­ta­tions by South Florida new media star­tups, entre­pre­neurs, and free­lance pro­fes­sion­als. Our mee­tups were attended on aver­age by 50 peo­ple, with some events draw­ing about 100. We’re par­tic­u­larly grate­ful to Yahoo! His­panic Amer­i­cas and to Brikolodge for host­ing most of our mee­tups, as well as to our spon­sors for pro­vid­ing the catering.

What’s in store for next year?

As the new media com­mu­nity con­tin­ues to grow, we plan on pro­vid­ing more ser­vices through­out the year. This means we’ll look into incor­po­rat­ing as a non-profit early in the year, build­ing a team, and set­ting objec­tives. It has been a reward­ing adven­ture so far, and we look for­ward to our next stage of growth.

Thanks for tak­ing part!
