The CD/NLA Executive Retreat is returning to Miami—one of the industry’s favorite locales—from June 2-5. In addition to tons of intimate networking and immersive education from experts both inside and outside of the industry, this annual event offers up a rare opportunity to experience some of the local vibes and sights of our host city. For example, in the past we’ve taken operators on tours of Napa Valley vineyards, Austin’s wildest and weirdest locales, and even the Jack Daniel’s Distillery. This year, we’re giving you the chance to experience a little adventure in Florida’s famous Everglades, as we hit the water for an incredible private airboat tour.
On this excursion, you will enjoy a 60-minute tour where you will be zipping along at speeds up to 60 miles per hour. Journey deep into the River of Grass on this guided tour for an opportunity to uncover some of the area’s best-kept secrets. The private tour will be led by an experienced guide who knows the best places to see gators, birds, snakes, and other wildlife that can only be found in this subtropical ecosystem.
Following the exhilarating journey on the water, you’ll get the experience of seeing reptiles in a whole new light as the morning concludes with a 20-mintute live gator show. This thrilling presentation ensures that everyone will have a blast. Uncover the unique characteristics of the iconic American alligator and share laughs as amusing antics come to life in the world-famous “Gator Pit.” Seating for our Wednesday excursion is strictly limited to 50 operators—and requires a separate $60 fee per person—so you’ll definitely want to register in advance.
While you’re registering for the retreat, take a moment to book your stay at the fabulous Fontainebleau. Until May 1, we have secured a block of rooms for the incredible price of $279/night. Whether you realize it or not, you’re undoubtedly familiar with the property through its long Hollywood connection. Major motion pictures filmed at the Fontainebleau include The Bellboy, Goldfinger, Scarface, and The Bodyguard. Located on the beach, the hotel is an American icon that’s redefined glamour for generations through striking design, contemporary art, music, fashion, and vibrant guest experiences. Since its creation, Fontainebleau has built upon its legacy as a cultural icon, and as America’s “first luxury resort,” its name is synonymous with enduring extravagance and prestige.
When you aren’t taking part in the exciting CD/NLA programming, feel free to take a dip in their bowtie-shaped pool or enjoy an exquisite dining experience at one of their legendary restaurants. Or indulge yourself at the property’s wellness spa or fitness facilities, soak up the Miami Beach nightlife, and sleep your cares away in one of their heavenly rooms. You may be here for work, but it will definitely feel like a vacation.
