It's state-ofthe-art performing arts centers, bustling downtown, major sports venues, the 650,000+ sq. ft. Miami Beach Convention Center, two national parks, and a convergence of cultures unmatched in America. It's half tropical playground, half metropolis — half nostalgic, half futuristic — half rooftop plunge pool — half eco-wonderland, and half global business capital. It's So Miami. But that's only the halves of it. For the whole picture, you need to visit. No tweet, blog post, or feature article can capture what makes Miami so uniquely meetingworthy. Colors are bright here. Tastes are sweeter. Breezes, balmier. And meetings are more productive. Shop the world's largest collection of designer boutiques. Café-hop on legendary Ocean Drive. Mop up the mural-covered walls of Wynwood. Sail at sunset. Jog at dawn. Tour Miami Modern Downtown Miami architectural treasures by moped. Eat dinner at midnight, or breakfast at noon — al fresco. Skim across the Everglades on an airboat. Get to know a dolphin firsthand. Meet eyes with a macaw or an alligator. Cast for an exclusive bonefish. Watch a Dolphin throw for six, a Marlin pitch a no-hit- When you're so close to your ocean view room, so close to famous art, and so near a café cubano, you'll know. No tweet, snapshot or posting will ever be enough. You so have to meet here to get it.
