MIAMI — Fresh off the heels of the fourth annual Hollywood edition of the XBIZ Retreat, XBIZ is pleased to announce the upcoming Miami XBIZ Retreat is set for May 23-27 at the luxurious, beachfront Grand Beach Hotel.
The summer edition of the invitation-only XBIZ Retreat returns once again to the tropical paradise of Miami with a new, upgraded venue situated in stylish Miami Beach. Held at its own dedicated venue, the XBIZ Retreat’s signature intimate ambiance is bolstered by the beautiful, tranquil setting of the Grand Beach Hotel.
Held twice a year, the XBIZ Retreat features a packed, all-inclusive itinerary anchored by private one-on-one meetings between buyers and vendors, along with opportunities for networking over meals and special events.
XBIZ Associate Publisher Sara Ramirez says the upcoming Miami XBIZ Retreat is set to welcome an expanded assembly of top international buyers.
“Year after year, the XBIZ Retreat has grown consistently thanks to word-of-mouth from past participants who travel from around the world to make powerful connections and land deals that are key to their business,” Ramirez said. “Their experience is topped off by a relaxing atmosphere surrounded by unforgettably beautiful scenery.”
January’s XBIZ Retreat was held in Hollywood, as part of XBIZ 2016. The event brought together top international vendors and buyers for private meetings and exclusive dinners along with access to XBIZ 2016’s slate of events, including the 2016 XBIZ Exec Awards and the star-studded XBIZ Awards.
Attendees of the most recent edition of the XBIZ Retreat offered the following remarks about their experience.
