The Hub of Miami Tech

Founded in 2006, Refresh Miami is the oldest and largest tech and startup community in Miami with over 15,500 members. With a mission to educate, inspire, connect and grow the South Florida tech and startup ecosystem; Refresh delivers Miami’s technology news daily, produces events with top-notch speakers in tech, curates introductions amongst its members, and hosts a job board and tech talent network. 

Refresh provides strategic partnership opportunities for companies looking to grow their presence locally, and plays a key role in convening leaders with a vision of making technology opportunities accessible to all.

Humble Beginnings

Refresh Miami started out as a handful of strangers talking tech over coffee at a local Starbucks, wanting to help other tech professionals get connected and grow their careers.

Today, Refresh Miami is synonymous with the #MiamiTech Movement.
