Teach Beach Retreat Miami, in partnership Google, has announced the return of its tech startup international conference, which is set to take place in Florida this October 9-11 at the Silverspot Cinema in Brickell. The theme of this year’s event is the Intelligent Enterprise in the Age of AI.
According to Forbes, six years ago Trinidadian Kyle Maloney and Jamaican Kirk-Anthony Hamilton founded Tech Beach Retreat (TBR), in order to foster tech and business innovation and investment in a region of the world not vastly known for it—yet.
Their online platform and regular retreats in Jamaica and Miami—which have attracted such luminaries as Jack Dorsey, Co-Founder of Square & Twitter, and Jon Oringer, Founder of Shutterstock—are a “perfectly curated, refreshingly intimate melange of keynote speakers, panel discussions, fireside chats, workshops and, of course, vibes.”
