MIAMI Realtors creating global business opportunities for members, enhancing South Florida’s global exposure
Miami is special for many reasons, but one of our greatest strengths is our incredible ability to welcome all cultures, do global business and thrive with diversity.
Nowhere else in the U.S. has a higher percentage of foreign-born residents and people speaking languages other than English at home. Nowhere else in the country has Miami’s international immigration. Nowhere else in the U.S. attracts more foreign homebuyers. Few places have Miami’s number of international banks, foreign consulates, and multinational companies.
Diversity and globalism are in Miami’s DNA, and it is also central to our mission at the MIAMI Association of Realtors.
MIAMI Realtors, which is home to an award-winning Global Business Council and partnerships with a record 225 international real estate organizations in 70+ countries, is always working to increase MIAMI members’ global business and opportunities, attract more international investment to our region and strengthen Miami’s global position.
To that end, MIAMI is honored this spring to continue our long tradition of exhibiting, presenting, and promoting the incredible Miami lifestyle at top real estate conferences in the U.S. and internationally.
Expanded Presence at MIPIM and Dubai Enhances Miami’s Worldwide Exposure
MIAMI will be exhibiting and presenting at MIPIM, the world’s largest commercial real estate show, from March 15-18, 2022 in Cannes, France. It will be our ninth year exhibiting at MIPIM. MIAMI will once again have its own expanded exhibit space in addition to sponsoring the National Association of Realtors (NAR) USA pavilion.
The Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau will be joining us for the first time at MIPIM as we work together to create unprecedented excitement for our booth and our market. For instance, we plan to have an artist painting three Miami murals in the booth. The mural will speak to Miami’s incredible arts and culture transformation. To increase exposure, we will feature Miami mojitos and cosmos, cafecitos, giveaways and more.
We once again look forward to hosting a major MIPIM reception for FIABCI, which will bring many foreign delegates to our booth.
Next, MIAMI will join Florida Realtors at the Dubai International Real Estate Conference and Trade mission March 21-23. About 1,500 foreign delegates from around the world will be participating. The mission will feature a MIAMI-specific panel where our MIAMI leaders will present about luxury, commercial, women in real estate and more.
Next, MIAMI will be exhibiting and presenting at the International Property Show at Dubai World Trade Center March 24-26. We are excited to work with our new global partner, Invest in Dubai, to increase global investment from the Middle East to South Florida. Invest in Dubai will have a YPN lounge as we work to expand our YPN global program. MIAMI YPN plans to sign YPN-to-YPN global agreements.
At MIPIM and Dubai, MIAMI Realtors will tout Miami’s position as a premier global city, work to attract more commercial and residential investment for South Florida and emphasize the advantages of doing business with MIAMI members. These events also allow us to connect with many of our 225 partner associations and to create new partnerships and opportunities for our members.
