Local transport
Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
taxi
Estimated costApprox. USD 35-45 one-way (metered taxi or rideshare; causeway tolls may be added)
Best forMiami International (MIA) to Miami Beach Convention Center
About 20-30 minutes outside rush hour; traffic on the MacArthur Causeway can double that during the morning peak.
Best forFort Lauderdale-Hollywood International (FLL) to Miami Beach Convention Center
Budget 40-55 minutes; rideshare pricing from FLL is usually higher on Sunday and Monday arrivals before a trade fair.
bus
Estimated costApprox. USD 2.25-2.90 single ride (contactless or EASY Card)
Best forMiami-Dade Transit airport express / bus service from MIA toward Miami Beach
Cheapest airport option; journey time is longer than taxi because of the mainland and beach stops. Confirm the current route and timetable before travel.
trolley
Estimated costFree (city-operated service; no ticket needed)
Best forMiami Beach Trolley loops linking South Beach, Mid-Beach and North Beach to the convention center area
Useful for moving between hotels and the venue; check loop frequency and last departure in the city transit app.
shuttle
Estimated costFree within service zones (tips optional)
Best forFreebee on-demand electric shuttle within Miami Beach service zones
Request through the Freebee app; good for short hotel-to-venue hops when walking in the heat is impractical.
rail
Estimated costApprox. USD 10-30 one-way depending on departure time and fare class, plus approx. USD 20-30 rideshare to the beach
Best forBrightline between MiamiCentral and Fort Lauderdale stations, then rideshare across to Miami Beach
Best used if you land at FLL and want to avoid the full road transfer; Brightline has no station on Miami Beach itself.
parking
Estimated costApprox. USD 20-40 per day for event parking (rates set by the venue; confirm before travel)
Best forMiami Beach Convention Center on-site parking garage
Arrive early for event days and check height restrictions for vans and shuttle buses. Exhibit freight is handled at the loading docks, not the public garage.
Weather
November in Miami Beach is warm and mostly dry: daytime highs near 27 C (81 F), overnight lows near 21 C (70 F), with high humidity and short passing showers. The Atlantic hurricane season officially runs to 30 November, so check forecasts in the week before travel and keep flight changes flexible.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
US carriers sell prepaid eSIM and physical SIM plans; check your home operator's US roaming add-on before flying, and consider a data eSIM for booth demos and video calls. Wi-Fi is standard in Miami Beach hotels (sometimes billed through a resort fee) and is typically available in the convention center, but bandwidth is shared across a busy logistics show - download demos locally and carry a hotspot or tethering plan as backup. Power outlets in the halls are US Type A/B at 120 V, so bring a plug adapter if you travel from Europe or Latin America.
Ride-hailing
Taxis
Public transit
Car rentals
Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Business dress
Miami Beach runs business casual even at a trade fair: open-collar shirts, chinos or a light suit. Carry a blazer for evening receptions and for heavily air-conditioned session rooms.
Tipping
Restaurant tipping is 18-20 percent of the pre-tax bill, 2-3 USD per drink at a bar, and a few dollars for valet or bell staff. Check whether a service charge is already on the bill for larger groups.
Language
English is the working language of the exhibition and conference sessions, but Spanish is widely spoken across Miami-Dade. It is a practical asset if you are meeting Latin American forwarders, carriers and shippers.
Taxes on your folio
Florida sales tax applies to goods, and Miami Beach adds resort taxes to hotel stays, so your checkout folio will show tax lines above the quoted nightly rate. Budget 12-15 percent on top of room rates.
Pace of the day
Halls run through the daytime, while dinners and networking receptions typically start around 19:00. Reserve restaurants in South Beach ahead for the 9-11 November 2027 week, as high season begins.
Sun and showers
UV is strong even in November and afternoon showers pass quickly. Sunscreen and a compact umbrella are worth carrying for the walks between hotels and the convention center.
Smoking and indoor rules
Florida law restricts indoor smoking, and most hotels and venues are non-smoking. Ask at your hotel where designated outdoor areas are before lighting up.
Practical guides
Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Flights
Destination: MIA
Fly into MIA for the shortest transfer to Miami Beach; choose FLL when fares are materially lower and you can absorb a 40-55 minute road leg or a Brightline connection. For the 9-11 November 2027 dates, book 6-10 weeks ahead and arrive the day before the show opens - November is the start of Miami Beach high season and Sunday and Monday flights fill quickly. Allow two to three hours for international check-in at MIA and confirm connection times if you are routed through a US hub.
Visa
Most international business visitors to the United States require either a B-1 temporary business visitor visa or eligibility under the Visa Waiver Program; confirm your status with the U.S. Department of State before booking.
Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.
The B-1 visa covers temporary business activities such as attending a trade fair or consulting with business associates, but not employment in the United States.
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Miami International (MIA): Approx. 20-30 min outside rush hour; allow 35-45 min in commuter traffic; Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International (FLL): Approx. 40-55 min depending on I-95 and causeway traffic. Allow road or rail time to Miami Beach Convention Center; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Miami Beach Convention Center: Near the convention center, about 400 m away: The Catalina Hotel & Beach Club; Near the convention center, about 390 m away: Liberty Park Hotel; South Beach, about 290 m from the convention center: Riviera Hotel South Beach.
Ride-hail: Uber and Lyft both operate across Miami-Dade, and the convention center has designated pickup and drop-off zones - follow the signage rather than hailing at the main entrance during peak exit times. Expect surge pricing after the show closes and around dinner hours; walking two or three blocks to a side street often shortens the wait. Ride-hail is also the most practical way to reach the beach directly from MIA or FLL with luggage.
Public transit: Miami Beach is served by the free Miami Beach Trolley, with colored loops connecting South Beach, Mid-Beach and North Beach, plus the on-demand Freebee electric shuttle and Miami-Dade Transit buses along Collins and Washington Avenues. From the mainland, take Metrorail or Brightline to Miami, then connect across the MacArthur or Julia Tuttle Causeway by bus or rideshare - there is no rail line onto the beach, so allow a 15-25 minute road leg. Confirm current loops and timetables in the City of Miami Beach transit app or the Miami-Dade Transit planner before you travel.
Parking: The Miami Beach Convention Center has an on-site parking garage with paid hourly and daily rates, and surface lots plus hotel garages sit within a few blocks of the halls. Event-day pricing is higher than off-peak, so pre-book where possible, arrive early, and check height restrictions if you are driving a van or shuttle bus. Exhibit freight is handled through the venue's designated loading docks, not the public garage.
Weather
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: November (event dates 9-11 November 2027)
Temperature: Daytime highs around 26-28 C (79-83 F), overnight lows around 20-22 C (68-72 F). An early-season cold front can briefly push evening temperatures down to about 17-18 C (63-65 F).
Seasonality: November sits at the end of the Atlantic hurricane season (1 June-30 November) and the start of the drier winter months, so expect warm humidity and short passing showers rather than all-day rain. Keep flight changes flexible if a late-season system is forecast.
Packing: Pack light business casual in breathable fabrics, a light blazer for air-conditioned session rooms, comfortable walking shoes for the hall footprint, sunglasses and sunscreen for the beachfront blocks, a compact umbrella, and a refillable bottle. Add swimwear if you plan to use a hotel pool, a spare set of business cards for booth meetings, and an adapter for US Type A/B 120 V outlets.

What is transport logistic Americas and what does it cover?
It is the Americas edition of the transport logistic trade fair family, staged at the Miami Beach Convention Center from 9 to 11 November 2027. The scope is freight and logistics: air and ocean freight, road and rail transport, freight forwarding and customs brokerage, contract logistics and warehousing, intralogistics equipment, and the software layer (TMS, WMS, visibility platforms) that connects them.
Who exhibits at transport logistic Americas in Miami Beach?
Exhibitors are carriers, freight forwarders and NVOCCs, air cargo handlers and ULD specialists, ports and terminals, rail and intermodal operators, trucking and drayage companies, contract logistics and warehousing providers, cold-chain specialists, plus logistics technology and equipment suppliers. The mix skews toward companies selling into North, Central and South American trade lanes.
Is transport logistic Americas open to the public or trade only?
It is a trade fair: access is aimed at logistics buyers, shippers, forwarders, carriers and supply chain managers rather than the general public. Expect badge checks at the entrance, so register in advance and carry a business card plus photo ID matching your registration.
Which airport should I fly into for the Miami Beach Convention Center?
Miami International (MIA) is closest, roughly 16 km / 10 mi across the MacArthur Causeway, typically 20-30 minutes by road outside rush hour. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International (FLL) is about 40 km / 25 mi north, typically 40-55 minutes by road, and can be cheaper on some routes.
How do I get from Miami International to Miami Beach without a car?
Take a metered taxi or rideshare from the terminal ground-transport ranks, or a Miami-Dade Transit bus toward Miami Beach, then walk or hop the free Miami Beach Trolley for the last stretch. There is no rail line onto the beach, so every option includes a road leg across a causeway.
Where should I stay for the show?
South Beach and Mid-Beach put you within walking distance of the convention center; properties around 300-400 m include the Riviera Hotel South Beach, Liberty Park Hotel and The Catalina Hotel & Beach Club. Beachfront hotels such as the Marseilles Beachfront Hotel are a few minutes further on foot. November is the start of high season, so book early.
Is there parking at the Miami Beach Convention Center?
Yes, the venue has an on-site parking garage with paid hourly and daily rates, and there are surface lots and hotel garages within a few blocks. Rates rise during major events, so pre-book where possible and check height restrictions if you are driving a van or shuttle.
How does the show relate to air cargo Americas?
The Miami Beach edition is run alongside air cargo Americas, so air freight capacity, ULD handling, perishables and pharma cool-chain suppliers sit in the same venue footprint as ocean, road and rail freight. Check the current floor plan and agenda to see how the two strands are laid out for 2027.
What is the business language and currency at the show?
English is the working language of the exhibition and conference sessions, and US dollars are used for all on-site transactions. Spanish is widely spoken across Miami-Dade, which is useful if you are meeting Latin American buyers and carriers.
Do I need a visa to attend from outside the United States?
Entry rules depend on nationality, not on the trade fair. Travellers from Visa Waiver Program countries need an approved ESTA before boarding; other nationals normally need a B-1 business visitor visa for meetings and trade fairs. Apply early and confirm current requirements on the official US State Department and CBP sites.
What should I bring for three days on the show floor?
Light business casual in breathable fabric, a light layer for air-conditioned session rooms, comfortable shoes for the hall footprint, a refillable bottle, and plenty of business cards. November in Miami Beach is warm with passing showers, so pack a compact umbrella and sunscreen.
How far ahead should I book travel for the November 2027 dates?
Aim to book flights 6-10 weeks out and arrive the day before the show opens. November is the start of Miami Beach high season and Sunday and Monday arrivals fill quickly, while hotel rates climb as event demand overlaps with winter tourism.
