Hear From Our Board

COMMITTEES

Our Chamber committees are comprised of volunteer members that are continuously working to improve MIAMI and shape its future. Through committee involvement, our members can effect change in areas specific to their business and make vital business connections.

Arts

Miami’s art community is at the forefront of fashion, design and architecture, and it’s also home for a growing number of world renowned artists and art collections. MECC’s Art subcommittee will band together artists and event managers with business consultants to promote artists’ rights and a welcoming business environment while providing project support.

Education

Miami is home to top tier schools, colleges, universities and learning centers. MECC will help promote educational services that will help entertainers sharpen their craft while expanding their knowledge of the industry.

Entertainment

Miami is the center of the entertainment in the State of Florida. The Entertainment industry encompasses a range of sectors, like live arts and events, publishing, marketing and music that all create captivating experiences and engage the entertain audiences. MECC will provide logistical support, business consulting, networking and the tools to further develop these projects and experiences.

Film, TV & Video content

Miami attracts film producers from all over the world to create content with its breathtaking locations. MECC’s objective is to promote the community’s opportunities for incentivizing production companies to continue filming in Miami and provide the support needed for these projects.

Food & Beverage

MIAMI is considered one of the FOOD capitals of the USA. Miami cuisine is exciting and has a wide variety of international flavors, including Cuban, Haitian, Peruvian, Mexican, Italian, Indian, Thai, Japanese, Argentinean and many more. MECC will help chefs, restaurants, caterers and the general food industry by promoting their interests, facilitating the necessary licenses and approvals, marketing people, businesses and events, and much more.

Hotels & Rentals

MIAMI continues to be one of the top destinations in the world for leisure and business travelers. We have nearly 500 hotels of every size and price point, with a total of approximately 60,000 rooms. MECC has industry leaders representing the businesses so that we can collaborate with local government, help with compliance, market events, and consult on business practices that streamline businesses and promote profits.

Service Providers

Services providers are necessary resources for the Entertainment Industry: they include accountants, managers, lawyers, logistics personnel and more. MECC will gather vetted professionals to facilitate the acquisition of trusted, professional services crucial to successful industry projects.

Sports

MIAMI is a sporting paradise. The Greater Miami area is home to five major league sports: NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, MLS, Tennis, NASCAR, Formula 1, College Sports and golf, as well as maritime activities and water sports (Diving, Boating, Fishing and more). MECC will help professionals navigate the complex waters of contract negotiation, merchandising, marketing and more, by maintaining a network of industry leaders who have business access and the know how needed to improve the likelihood of success.

Technology

The entertainment industry is constantly evolving as new technologies and platforms emerge, and as audience preferences and behaviors change over time. MECC will have technology platforms and networking events that educate members on developments and introduce trusted professionals to help entertainment projects.

Travel & Tourism

MIAMI has been known as a tourism destination, but it is also a business location for companies active in the Hospitality & Tourism sector. PortMiami welcomes more cruise vacationers than any other port in the world.
