A dynamic international city, Greater Miami is a rare hybrid -- a sophisticated urban resort with world-class business amenities that doubles as a laid-back tropical paradise. Conventioneers reap the benefits when they choose to meet in a town where combining business with pleasure is as effortless as convening a conference on a waterfront terrace kissed by glorious sunshine and soft breezes. Boasting a centrally located international airport, temperatures that average 75F year round, state-of-the-art meeting facilities and more than 43,000 hotel rooms, Miami has evolved into a meeting destination for all seasons. Factor in the lure of the world-famous Art Deco District, white sand beaches, sparkling Biscayne Bay and renowned dining and entertainment and it is easy to see why many of the world's most prestigious associations and corporate meetings, conventions and trade shows choose to meet in Miami. In 2007 more than 875,000 delegates converged on Miami, contributing close to $1 billion to the local economy.

One of the best reasons to meet in Miami is that when the day's work is done, visitors find themselves in America's playground. For delegates on a break or spouses along for the journey, options for entertainment, both organized and spontaneous, abound. Whether its zipping around sparkling Biscayne Bay on a motor boat or lounging poolside at one of Miami Beach's chic boutique hotels, down time is a great time when you choose to meet in Miami. Immaculately groomed golf courses throughout the destination are geared towards duffers of all levels; tennis courts are in the same league. A gateway to glorious ecological discovery lies less than an hour from downtown with two national treasures -- Biscayne National Park and Everglades National Park.
Restaurants are among the top in the nation, with young award-winning chefs like Michelle Bernstein, Jonathan Eismann and Adam Votaw, attracting kudos for innovative New American cuisine, while nightlife is legendary -- offering ample opportunities to rub shoulders with hot celebrities and super models. Others may choose to participate in the great American pastime -- shopping! Check out Lincoln Road on Miami Beach for trend-setting shops and extraordinary people-watching or the chic, designer-studded Bal Harbour Shops and Village of Merrick Park in Coral Gables. Upscale centers like Aventura Mall and The Falls, as well as factory outlet centers like the Dolphin Mall, offer serious shoppers a wealth of choices.
