Miami Beach is built for bringing people together. Companies from around the country come here for conferences, annual meetings, incentive trips, leadership retreats, and company-wide gatherings, often with attendees who rarely see one another in person. Between the Miami Beach Convention Center, the large oceanfront resorts along Collins Avenue, boutique hotels in South Beach, and meeting spaces within walking distance of Lincoln Road and the Art Deco District, there are venues for everything from a 30-person leadership team to a major corporate conference.

That makes Miami Beach especially well suited to a team-building event that becomes part of the meeting rather than another excursion everyone has to load onto buses for. We can bring an event such as Build-A-Bike®, Rescue Bear®, Ace Race®, or Hopeful Horizons directly into a hotel ballroom or conference space. An Ace Race can turn that ballroom into a lively mini-golf competition, with teams building the course from nonperishable food that is donated afterward. Build-A-Bike gets people solving challenges and working together before the completed bicycles go to children in need.

There’s also something particularly satisfying about adding a community component to a destination meeting. Your team may have come to South Beach for the ocean, the restaurants, and a few days away from headquarters, but a charity team-building event gives everyone something more substantial to remember from the trip. Instead of simply attending the same conference, people accomplish something together and leave a little good behind in South Florida.
