Spring 2013 edition will be held March 22nd – 24th and caps off a very busy March at the Miami Beach
Convention Center.
The Miami Beach Convention Center (MBCC) and its staff won’t have much time to catch their breaths following the hosting of this year’s Progressive Miami International Boat Show. As the final boat’s sail away, the building will immediately begin preparations for an extremely busy calendar of events in March.
The MBCC, managed by Global Spectrum, will be host to a diverse group of five major events throughout the month of March with a combined expected attendance of approximately over 65,000. The building will also host several smaller events scheduled in around the larger ones.
The month of March begins with the 71st Annual Meetings of the American Academy of Dermatology, a city-wide event that takes place from March 1st through March 5th, with expected attendance numbers of 15,000 doctors. The group last held their meetings in Miami Beach in 2010.
The following week we see the return of the annual event Cruise Shipping Miami, being held from March 11th through March 14th. Cruise Shipping Miami, organized by UBM Live, is the leading international exhibition and conference serving the cruise industry for nearly 30 years.
