I met several individuals from Latin America at Bitcoin 2013, and we bounced around the idea of setting up a Bitcoin conference in the epicenter of the Western Hemisphere—Miami—rather than that remote, outer province that was all the rage way back in the 1990s.

We are calling it Bitcoin of the Americas.  (Don't bother.  I grabbed the domain names before posting this.)

I expect that this post will get buried pretty quickly under a bunch of posts about mining and setting up exchanges, but I'll try to update this thread as developments occur.  Anyone in South Florida who might be interested, feel free to contact me.  Mind, though, that this isn't even Powerpointware yet, much less an actual announcement.
