Conventional Miami
Conventional Miami
Competition is rife between salesmen, businessmen and academics
both in the States and worldwide for the chance to win a trip to
Miami for a convention from their bosses. People sitting in
offices watching the snow or rain outside may well wish they had
worked a little bit harder last year so that they could be one
of the lucky few to be chosen for a week in tropical sunshine
during the northern winter.
Miami, Florida is one of the most famous and popular convention
centres in the States. For keen workers it's a question of
Miami-or-bust as an annual excursion if you are good enough at
your job. The annual pilgrimage sorts out the "sheep from the
goats", and to be left out probably means that you have failed
to reach last year's target.
For the academics a freebee in the sun chatting jurisprudence
and meta-physics, Egyptology, pure maths, geomorphology or Greek
philosophy with someone who actually understands what you are
talking about is a tonic which brings them back to their
students mentally and physically refreshed.
Miami certainly has the facilities available to cater for large
parties of businessmen. A long list of hotels offer conference
facilities, and often the larger companies will book a whole
3/400 bed hotel for the duration of a particular convention.
The largest Convention Centre runs to half a million square
feet, whilst many smaller venues are always in use all around
Miami and the surrounding areas.
The variety of Miami
conventions and conferences is truly staggering. These
include such topics as Treasury Management in Latin America,
Career Fairs, engineering shows, legal conferences, many medical
conferences and trade shows, other trade shows for every
conceivable product, travel, entertainment and fashion shows.
The list goes on and on.
If you've managed to persuade your superior that your attendance
at the convention is vital, there is plenty to do in the hours
between lectures, speeches or meetings. Many people like to
experience the famous South Beach with its miles of sand and
upbeat nightlife. Zoos, aquariums and outdoor activities abound
if you have a day off, and the shopping is of a high standard.
The choice of restaurants to suite all tastes and budgets and
the tropical temperatures in winter also encourages many
employers to favour Miami for its company's trade fair, or to
send its employees there as an annual bonus for good
performance. Major clients of any trade or profession like to do
business in pleasant surroundings with all the relevant comforts.
Miami is likely to remain as one of the most popular convention
centres due to both long established use and its ability to
cater for the numbers without losing its identity.
