There will also be a new satellite office at the Levan Center where the Office of Economic and Small Business Development (OESBD) will offer Technical Assistance Fridays on the 1st and 3rd Fridays each month starting in December. Services include help with small business certifications and access to government contracting resources.

The recent exodus of normies to Bluesky from X is fueling a tectonic shift that feels generational. It’s not Mastodon, it’s Twitter 2.0.

It’s go time! I am looking forward to this first of many #ICS events and training sessions for what is quickly becoming a national resource and the jewel in the cybersecurity and innovation crown of South Florida. I look toward to seeing those participating in person and those from all over the U.S. participating virtually. I heard the artificial intelligence workshop earlier this week was illuminating. #Cybersecurity #WorkforceDevelopment Maverc Technologies Levan NSU Broward Center of Innovation Nova Southeastern University
