Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Language and business tone
Miami runs on English and Spanish; meetings often open in English but shift to Spanish with Latin American counterparts, so confirm the preferred language before a first call.
Dress and meeting style
Business casual reads as a blazer without a tie in most Miami boardrooms, and the humid subtropical climate makes light fabrics the practical choice for a March show week.
Tipping
US tipping norms apply: roughly 18-20% at restaurants and a dollar or two per bag for hotel staff.
Punctuality and follow-up
Miami meetings usually start on time, but relationship-building before the agenda is common with Latin American counterparts. Follow up within 48 hours and keep both English and Spanish materials ready.
