We have a terrific lineup of events this month in Miami that are supported by Knight Foundation, including Smart City Startups, which just added more $15 tickets for its showcase and demo. Also, please join us for the second annual eMerge Americas global tech conference from May 1-5 at the Miami Beach Convention Center.   And don’t forget that the deadline to submit your ideas for Singularity University’s Global Impact Challenge is April 17. The Knight-supported competition seeks ideas that address the question: How would you solve South Florida’s sea level rise challenge and improve the lives of millions of people in three to five years by using technology? Apply here for a chance to win full tuition to Singularity University’s 10-week Graduate Studies Program in Silicon Valley this summer.
