The main event will take place December 16–17 at Kaseya Center, following a private CEO gathering in Brickell. The 2026 speaker lineup has not yet been announced.
MIAMI America Business Forum is returning to downtown Miami this December, bringing another round of business and leadership discussions to Kaseya Center after a 2025 edition that featured prominent executives, athletes and political figures.
The arena confirms the public event will take place December 16–17, 2026, with tickets already on sale. Its listed theme is “Where the World Comes Together.” Kaseya Center
The broader program begins December 15 with the CEO Forum of the Americas at EAST Miami in Brickell,That private gathering is planned for 250 founders and global CEOs.
The schedule makes an important distinction for anyone planning to attend: the private opening event is separate from the two days of arena sessions.
This Year’s Speakers Remain Unannounced
The forum’s previous Miami edition attracted names from finance, technology, sports and politics. Its official website lists Jeff Bezos, Jamie Dimon, Serena Williams, Lionel Messi and Donald Trump among the 2025 speakers. Those names are presented as last year’s participants, rather than a confirmed lineup for December 2026. America Business Forum
The Miami Herald reports that this year’s speakers have not yet been announced. Kaseya Center also advises that the lineup is subject to change.
Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava welcomed the event’s return in a statement quoted by the Herald, describing the county as a place where people come to build, invest and lead.
Her support reflects the forum’s focus on connecting business leaders across international markets. For prospective attendees, however, the forthcoming speaker list and session agenda will provide a clearer picture of what this year’s program offers.
Tickets Range From $399 to $9,999
The organizer’s main Miami event page currently advertises Access tickets at $399. That package includes both days of sessions, general admission seating, a networking area and an attendee directory through the event app.
At the other end of the range, the $9,999 Diamond package advertises premium seating, expedited entry, VIP parking and a lounge with butler and sommelier service. It also includes 10 business meetings arranged through AI matchmaking. These are organizer-advertised benefits, rather than guarantees of business deals or meetings with particular speakers.

The large price difference shows how the event combines stage programming with paid networking experiences. Someone primarily interested in hearing the talks will have different priorities from a company seeking scheduled introductions.
Before purchasing, attendees should check the current checkout price, package conditions and exactly which events their ticket covers.
What the Return Could Mean for Local Businesses
Beyond the arena, a gathering of visiting executives and entrepreneurs could create opportunities for restaurants, hotels, transportation providers and other businesses around downtown Miami and Brickell.
That is a potential local benefit, not a measured economic impact. The size of any boost will depend on actual attendance, how long visitors stay and where they spend money.
For Miami’s smaller businesses, attending also involves a practical calculation. A ticket may offer useful introductions or ideas, but its value depends on whether the audience and sessions match the business’s goals. The celebrity names associated with last year’s event alone cannot answer that question.
The next development to watch is the announcement of the 2026 speakers and a detailed agenda. For now, the arena dates are confirmed, tickets are available, and the private Brickell gathering is reported as the opening part of the December program.
