Friday, March 24th – BuddyCamp Miami & REST API Workshop Guide

Friday, March 24th is filled with so much learning, networking, and fun that things might feel overwhelming. So, we hope this guide for BuddyCamp Miami / REST API Workshop will provide you with all the information and answers that will need.

Location, Direction & Map:

BuddyCamp Miami will be held at FIU’s Graham Center building (GC) in Room 140 (Auditorium).

FIU Graham Center

We highly recommend you enter FIU campus from the 8th street entrance. From the North or the South find your way to campus using the Turnpike, exiting EAST on S.W. 8th Street (U.S. Highway 41 – Tamiami Trail). Once on 8th Street, go East two traffic lights to SW 112TH Avenue, and turn right. After entering campus, you should see a WCMIA sign instructing you to take your first Left.

Here is a Google Map to help with direction:
