, the Haitian Heritage Museum (HHM) will set the tone for a cocktail gala fundraiser honoring innovative influencers in the technology industry. The Caribbean Tech & Innovation Awards will shed light on diversity in technology and award those who have exemplified unmatched drive and talent in their respective industry.
This year marks the 11 th annual fundraiser the Haitian Heritage Museum has conducted and its proceeds will support HHM programming of cultural education and e-Ayiti Expose, an educational program dedicated to providing technological resources to classrooms globally.

By using technology the Haitian Heritage Museum and Miami Caribbean Code hope to inspire, support, and highlight the future endeavors of the next generations in the South Florida and Caribbean communities.
