Swing by Booth #310 to pick up a Survival Kit provided by our team that you will need when you venture to the beach! In the kit, you will find: a nice Bluetent sticker for your water bottle, Bluetent’s SPF chapstick to apply while you work on that tan, a little pick-me-up snack and an extra kick of Vitamin-C before sipping a craft cocktail, plus something to ease the pain of that sunburn… but hey, no excuses, Coppertone was invented in Miami! We even provided you with wipes to conveniently clean your hands after responsibly applying SPF. We understand you’ll need a break after the conference, that’s why we planned ahead so that you can relax on the marvelous white sand beaches!
Mission Miami: Enjoy sightseeing at these notorious hangouts: Port of Miami – the Cruise Capital of the World, Vizcaya Museum & Gardens – an Italian Renaissance-style Villa lavishly decorated with European antiques, or the Historic Art Deco District – explore neighborhoods with over 800 buildings from the 1930s and 1940s!
