Message From the President & CEO

Hello everyone:

This week was indeed a very special week for your GMCVB, for our entire destination and for several of our key partners in the cuisine and music space.

These partners dare I say – will bring amazing Latin music to our ears and a bevy of creative chefs will showcase just how their award-winning cuisine will enthrall our palates.

Things kicked off with the Latin GRAMMY® Awards announcement led by Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava at a Kaseya Center press conference heralding the return of the star-studded, globally televised event to Greater Miami and Miami Beach, Thursday, Nov. 14, 2024, where we will celebrate its 25th anniversary. Manuel Abud, CEO, The Latin Recording Academy and Nacho Meyer, president of Univision Television Networks Group at TelevisaUnivision joined me as we shared the excitement of music lovers everywhere who will honor this spectacular showcase of talent and diversity. There is much more to follow as our destination comes alive with events throughout the community. See the press release here.
