March Madness concluded last night, yet the madness continues in April. Before you know it, Maycember will hit you like a ton of bricks. We are feeling it here at CityClips as we are getting ready to ramp up growth this month. Speaking of growth, NCAA’s Men’s basketball viewership was 4 million less than Women’s Finals record-breaking 19 million. That’s a signal for more opportunities for women in sports.

It aims to establish Tampa Bay, which is the center of the Tech industry in Florida, to take the lead in AI.
The U.S. is experiencing a “five-fold increase in the demand for AI skills" and a shortage of qualified talent.
200 USF faculty members are already researching AI related subjects.
University officials hope to launch the new college in Fall 2025.
