Miami
Welcome to Southeast Florida and Miami! This sun kissed paradise is renown for stunning beaches and crystal clear waters framed by turquoise skies and enhanced by a year-round tropical climate. These natural wonders serve as the backdrop for Miami's new hotels, which range from the grand or ultra modern to smaller boutique style properties – cumulatively accommodating groups of 10 to 20,000 participants. Exciting cafes and restaurants, unusual venues, excellent shopping, and thriving nightlife combine to create a destination like no other. Miami offers a multitude of dining experiences with a variety of restaurants that cater to Miami’s cultural and ethnic diversity. Guests dive into all that Miami offers: riding on an airboat through the everglades, snorkeling around the coral reefs, sailing on Biscayne Bay, or strolling through the South Beach Art Deco District, and much more!

Fort Lauderdale
Once called the “Venice of America,” Fort Lauderdale earned its name from its myriad of surrounding waterways. The area has earned a reputation for its great hotels that offer fabulous views of the beaches, Intracoastal waterway or the New River. The diverse hotel properties can easily accommodate groups from 10 to 500. For a relaxed outing, Fort Lauderdale offers cruises aboard water taxis up the Intracoastal or to the Riverwalk Arts and Entertainment Center filled with cafes and shops. The Arts are abundant, and Broadway shows are no stranger to the Broward Performing Art Center. Extensive nightlife venues captivate the night owls, or visit the Museum of Discovery and Science by day. Fort Lauderdale also features two national teams, the Florida Panthers and Florida Marlins. Don’t miss out!

Palm Beach
Palm Beach is located along Florida's famous "Gold Coast," which received its name from the abundant gold salvaged from shipwrecks off the coastline. Palm Beach offers groups a glance into the “lifestyles of the rich and famous.” The most famous attraction is the historic Breakers Hotel, built in 1896, offering luxurious accommodations, first class spa, and championship golf. This area is renown for prestigious shops, and guests will not want to miss the opportunity to stroll along Worth Avenue’s exclusive designer boutiques, cafes, famous jewelry shops and antique stores. Guests find more than 40 museums brimming with diversity – ranging from fine art to Japanese culture. The Kravis Center offers groups a state-of-the-art performing arts venue offering year-round entertainment from top-name performers to Broadway shows. Boca Raton, located in Palm Beach County, offers guests several wonderful hotel and dining experiences enlivened with fascinating history. Those with an adventurous spirit may want to explore the Loxahatchee Wildlife Refuge or go aboard an airboat skimming the shallow waters over the everglades.

The Keys
The scenic Keys divide the Atlantic Ocean from the Gulf of Mexico. A spectacular drive through the islands, leads straight to Key West’s rich history of pirates, rumrunners and shipwrecks. The area itself is a treasure offering guests a look back on Florida’s unusual history. Some of the alluring activities include chartering a catamaran and sailing around the coral reefs or hopping aboard a seaplane to discover the Dry Tortugas. Those seeking to relax find the Conch Tour Train offers a wonderful tour of Key West’s significant sites. Other highlights include the Key West Aquarium, where guests gaze at native tropical fish, and the Key West Historium, where guests delve into the treacherous world of shipwrecking. Mel Fisher’s Maritime Museum proudly displays rich artifacts from recently discovered shipwrecks. No tour of Key West is complete without partaking in the nightly ritual of watching the sunset at Mallory Square. Both visitors and local artists gather on the dock to celebrate the conclusion of another tropical day.
