#SMWMiami Kickoff at Haven South Beach

Social Media Week kicks off in Miami on September 22nd 2014 and I couldn't be more excited! Social Media week is a worldwide event that takes place twice a year where social media enthusiasts get together to hear about the impact social media has on our communities, businesses and most importantly, the world. This message is mainly delivered by influential keynote speakers we social geeks swoon over, for example, one of my favorites, Ramon De Leon, who I had the pleasure of meeting and hearing his amazing story at last year's Social Media Summit in Vegas.

Though the schedule has not been completely published, Event Crowd and Creativas Group has been working hard to provide us with the best speakers and events and also hosted a "kick-off" party last Thursday at Haven South Beach to get Miami's social influencers to come together and network with complimentary welcome cocktails provided by Finlandia.

Last summer, I also had the pleasure of meeting Nicky Yates who was one of the keynote speakers at my NYU Social Media Intensive course and was representing SocialMediaWeek and crowd centric. This was the little gem she provided us with who still, til this day, is my favorite video to show all who question what it is that I "really do".
