Be a part of ioby’s launch in Miami

Since the announcement of our Miami office, we have been inundated by interest and support, keeping us wonderfully busy meeting Miami’s movers, shakers, dreamers, doers, and more. Having gained a fuller understanding of Miami’s civic opportunities and challenges, we are now ready to take the next step…and want you with us!

Come shake it with us the evening of Friday, April 5 when we recognize those who have already achieved change in Miami, and showcase the in augural cohort of project leaders we are supporting in their campaigns to create change in the days to come.More info here.
