FIND EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO HOST A MEETING TO REMEMBER IN MIAMI
Versatile Space: Personalize the Miami Beach Convention Center to your meeting's needs. Enjoy plenty of flexible indoor and outdoor spaces, made up of over 180,000 square feet of meeting space, a 60,000-square-foot grand ballroom, a 20,000-square-foot junior ballroom, 84 breakout rooms, a breathtaking terrace, and 6 acres of green space including Pride Park and Collins Park. State-of-the-art technology including the streaming capabilities of the Art Deco Studio allow for seamless hybrid events. With this level of flexibility, it makes sense why so many events-including Bitcoin Conference, Afro Tech event, HLTH, Seatrade Cruise Global, and World Perfumery Congress-have chosen Miami. The Convenience Continues: The Miami Beach Convention Center is just steps away from the Miami Beach Convention Center District, which is home to world-class shops, culture, entertainment, iconic beaches, and restaurants-including on-site dining options like Venu and Rum Room. Enjoy one of the most unique shopping districts in the U.S. on Lincoln Road, stroll down the luxurious and historic Collins Avenue, catch a show at The Fillmore or New World Symphony, or admire international contemporary art at the Bass Museum. And more convenience is on the way in 2025, with the addition of the 800-room Miami Beach Convention Center Headquarter Hotel, which will be connected to the Convention Center for ultimate ease. Your Meeting is Just the Beginning: Miami is home to a diverse collection of vibrant heritage-rich neighborhoods that showcase a unique blend of culture, ready for you to explore. One of the oldest neighborhoods in Miami, Historic Overtown was considered the Harlem of the South in its golden age, a mecca of entertainment and culture in the Black community. The area is still bustling with music, art, culture, and iconic restaurants. Learn more about the story of Overtown over food awarded Michelin's Bib Gourmand at the Red Rooster, or attend Lyric Live on the 1st Friday every month in the Lyric Theater that attracted artists like Aretha Franklin, Bo Diddley, Patti Labelle, Betty Wright, and Sam & Dave. Little Havana is the colorful center of Cuban and Hispanic culture in Miami. The area is filled with Latin-inspired cafes, restaurants, venues, and markets that give space and a voice to all the different backgrounds that have taken root in the neighborhood. Watch locals playing dominoes in Maximo Gomez Park to a backdrop of ever-present Cuban beats. Sample savory dishes from all over Latin America. Attend Viernes Culturales and immerse yourself in the neighborhood's cultural arts scene. And, enjoy a night out at Ball & Chain, the iconic nightclub turned music venue. Little Haiti is the cultural heart of the Haitian diaspora and the resulting bright, ever-present celebration of all things Caribbean that can be found in galleries, museums, family-owned restaurants, and bookstores. Rooted in deep history and supported by a community of versatile leaders, Little Haiti has organically become home to one of Miami's most vibrant arts scenes. Enjoy the free outdoor concert and immersive cultural experience, Sounds of Little Haiti, on the 3rd Friday of the month. Find perfect harmony of art, design, architecture and fashion in Miami's burgeoning center for haute design. The Design District is home to over 130 art galleries, showrooms, creative services, stores, antiques dealers, eateries and bars. Stroll through a mix of funky galleries, carefully curated boutiques, as well as luxury closet staples like Christian Louboutin, Prada, Louis Vuitton and Hermes. In just a few short years, the former warehouse district of Wynwood has become the arts hub of South Florida. What started with murals, street art, and graffiti, has grown into more than 70 galleries and museums, dozens of new restaurants and bars and hundreds of companies, creators, and innovators working in a place that is buzzing with life and home to a vibrant nightlife. Enjoy the Second Saturday Art Walks, and explore everything there is to see, eat, and drink in the ever-evolving neighborhood. With so many vibrant neighborhoods and Miami's iconic beaches, attendees have endless options to explore and unwind after their meetings. In Miami you'll find everything you need to make your next meeting an unforgettable one.
