MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA — The global hospitality industry will turn its attention to South Florida this November as The Hospitality Show returns to the Miami Beach Convention Center, November 2–4, 2026. Bringing together hotel owners, operators, leading hospitality brands, technology innovators and industry suppliers, the annual gathering promises three days of business connections, fresh ideas and a celebration of the hospitality industry.
The festivities begin Monday evening with “Miami Nights,” an opening reception designed to capture the unmistakable spirit of Miami. From Latin rhythms and salsa dancing to creative cocktails, culinary experiences and cultural entertainment, the celebration will offer visiting hospitality executives a taste of the destination that has become synonymous with international glamour and vibrant nightlife.
Several prominent international brands are helping transform the opening reception into an immersive Miami-inspired experience.
PepsiCo, the evening’s title sponsor, will present signature cocktails and mocktails at bars throughout the reception, along with a VIP area and specialty food experience.
American Express will offer a dedicated lounge within the Miami Nights VIP area, creating a comfortable setting for industry colleagues to reconnect, exchange ideas and build new relationships away from the main festivities.
Hyatt will introduce guests to Rita Rosa, a new bar concept planned for the Grand Hyatt Miami. A Miami street food station will provide an advance taste of the concept, combining local culinary influences with the creativity of contemporary hotel dining.
“We’re going all in for opening night, bringing together the entire hotel industry for our biggest party yet.”
BRANDY RAND — VICE PRESIDENT OF HOSPITALITY, FORGE
Rand, whose company Forge (formerly Questex) produces The Hospitality Show in partnership with the American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA), said guests can expect a full Miami experience featuring music, food, cocktails, dancing and a few surprises, thanks to the support of the show’s corporate sponsors.
Music will take center stage as Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI) presents a performance by Mr. Pauer, the two-time Latin Grammy-nominated DJ and producer celebrated for blending Afro House, Latin House, Caribbean rhythms and international sounds into his high-energy performances.
Adding to the tropical atmosphere, Technogym will bring live salsa dancers to the reception, celebrating the music and movement that have helped define Miami’s cultural identity.
Guests will also have an opportunity to experience one of Miami’s most enduring Cuban traditions. HotelPAC will host a cigar-rolling demonstration, offering visitors a glimpse into the craftsmanship and heritage that remain closely associated with the city’s historic cigar culture.
Meanwhile, HBO will add a theatrical element with an upscale, wizarding-inspired cocktail experience, featuring imaginative beverages, themed décor and distinctive presentation.
Beyond the opening-night festivities, The Hospitality Show serves as a major meeting place for professionals shaping the future of hotels, resorts and guest experiences. The gathering brings together decision-makers from across the lodging sector to explore new technology, operational strategies, design innovations, guest amenities and emerging hospitality trends.
Miami Beach provides a fitting backdrop for an event devoted to the art and business of hospitality. With its internationally recognized hotels, celebrated restaurants, luxury lifestyle offerings and multicultural character, the destination reflects many of the experiences that hospitality professionals work to create for travelers around the world.
For hotel executives, investors, suppliers and hospitality entrepreneurs, the November gathering offers an opportunity to make meaningful business connections while enjoying one of America’s most exciting resort destinations.
