We are going this year and have no clue what to expect lol.

Worst case scenario we will enjoy South beach for what it is.

Is everyone still going to stay in South Beach? Or is Downtown the place to go this year?
I think logistics are going to be a guaranteed shlt show.

If you dont do south beach at least try to do over by the arts district. Its better than downtown IMO and only a tiny bit furthur.

Touched base with a few folks "in the know" with local logistics of the show, and most are staying in Downtown Miami, and some are taking RVs down to Virginia key.

I've actually stayed in several places in Downtown Miami, and like it a lot. The Mandarin Oriental, Intercontinental, and JW Marriott are all top notch properties.

Last year we rented a young girls apartment for the week as she left for that timeframe. It was cheaper than the hotels and we wee very close to the Marina.

But I know things changed - location. Some of the OEM's are hating this show as I am in know with them. They all have talked about the common problems of transporting along with unloading and loading for the show, parking and distance. IMO some seemed to be not bringing as much stuff for displays. Just saying
