LinkedIn has added the ability to create "subgroups" of bigger groups, so I created a LinkedIn group for Brevard and the East Coast. It could be a good way to connect regionally, as there is a huge audience over there.
The best way to join is by clicking this link:
Brevard Florida Creatives on LinkedIn
The main Florida Creatives LinkedIn group is nice too. I think joining the subgroup makes you a member of the bigger group, but I don't know.
