Some of you considering moving to Miami may be turned off by the hype about a particular social scene here that sounds a lot like the same old tech bro cliques. BUT, there are many, many more communities to join.
Fi:rst, if you’re actively building a tech company, you may not have much time for social stuff. (I don’t.) You may hate large groups. And COVID. DM people who seem cool and set up a call. I do this a lot. Most people like to meet people who think they’re cool!
You also may be interested in many other things that have nothing to do with tech or networking or business. This makes you interesting and well-rounded and we are here for it! Here are some ideas to help you get started …
Love performing arts? @NuDecoEnsemble @nwsymphony @FGOpera @MiamiCityBallet @YoungArts and venues like @ArshtCenter #northbeachbandshell
Visual arts? @pamm @TheBassMoA @icamiami @MOCANOMI and our endlessly cool galleries. Also shameless plug for my side project @cmxnr_mia which aims to get you plugged into and collecting local art to support local artists.
Love the outdoors? @tropicalaudubon @evergfoundation @MiamiWaterkpr @EvergladesNPS @BiscayneNPS @theunderlinemia @MiamiDadeParks
Fitness fans should have no trouble finding options, plenty of gyms, bootcamps, yoga, etc, but I have to rec @frankieruiz for runners and @MiamiBikeScene for cyclists.
Perhaps you like to meet people through volunteering. (I can tell we are going to be friends!) @MiamiFoundation highlights most of our amazing nonprofits for #GiveMiamiDay and you can search for cool ones to try here: givemiamiday.org/nonprofits
We love to network and work, but imo the magic of living well in our city is in cultural collisions. Sure, do tech stuff, but there is so much more to love if you explore your other passions too. Y’all tell me what I missed …
