This Week at the LAB

We Create, Future of Work, Claude Code Meetup

What’s going on everyone and welcome to This Week at the LAB Newsletter 👋 

I apologize for a late email here - we’ll be back to our regular scheduled cadence next week!

Now I do have to say…

The Miami tech scene is absolutely cooking this week. 🧑‍🍳 

  • Venture Week Miami in full swing

  • Florida Venture Forum in full swing with 100’s of venture investors in Coral Gables

  • OpenClaw Meetup event last night was packed and mind blowing 🦞 

  • Official Claude Code Meetup this Friday night

Thank you to everyone who joined for the OpenClaw Meetup last night. It was a full house with amazing demos from community members that are pushing and experimenting with this hot new technology. We’ll be sharing the recording and all the notes with those of you who RSVPd as well.

Be sure to keep an eye on OpenClawMiami.com where there is more coming around the OpenClaw topic.

More broadly though… there are dozens of events focused on tech, startups, and more happening around Miami this spring.

The tech community in Miami continues to organize unique events, workshops, and activations from large scale to super niche. These are the best ways to find your crew and collaborators.

Here’s the details on some of our upcoming events to check out.

We Create - Women Build Night

This event series by Project Convoy has really been picking up steam since launching. This is a smaller event focused on connecting ​women builders, makers, designers, founders, and anyone excited about creating with AI.

The best part - no experience necessary. Come as you are and the We Create community will help you get started on your building journey.

This week’s We Create is at waitlist capacity as of now, but I wanted to put this on your radar so you can sign up for next edition if spots are filled tonight.

AI

The Future of Work: AI Hiring & the New Sports Gig Economy

​Join us at the DOCK on Thursday for a dynamic panel featuring 2 Miami-based startups and one Miami based non-profit tackling the future of work from completely different, but deeply connected angles:

  • ​Patterned is revolutionizing how people are hired by using AI to fundamentally change talent discovery and matching, moving faster and fairer than traditional recruiting models.

  • ​Golazo Training is creating a new gig economy in the world’s most famous sport, unlocking flexible income opportunities for coaches, trainers, and players through technology-enabled sports training.

  • ​Init is a non-profit helping students land their next job in tech via technical programs and other career development opportunities.

Interested about the future of work? Head to the DOCK on Thursday night to learn where this industry is headed.
