The meeting was well attended and is meant to be run as a user group format in a casual setting. Many of the local Microsoft MVPs and group leaders were in attendance as well, which allows technical folks to connect with community leaders in the area. If you live in South Florida, I highly recommend to look out for future meetings at the MIC; most meetings will be about the Microsoft Azure platform, either IT Pro or Dev topics. For more information on the MIC, check out this announcement: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/news/press/2014/may14/05-02miamiinnovationpr.aspx.
