This month Knight Foundation will partner with The Atlantic for the second annual Startup City Miami event being held at the New World Center on March 31.

The daylong event explores South Florida’s growing innovation ecosystem, gathering leading entrepreneurs, government officials and tech experts for panels, interviews and case studies on the integral components of Miami’s startup scene. Register here.
