The 2026 Florida Planning Conference host committee invites industry leaders to immerse themselves in Miami Está de Moda – Planning the Magic, Remixing the Future to celebrate innovative planning work shaping communities across the state.

 

The InterContinental Hotel Miami will serve as the headquarters for this year’s conference, offering sweeping views of Biscayne Bay set in the heart of Downtown Miami. The venue places attendees within walking distance of transit, cultural destinations, and public spaces that exemplify the very topics planners will gather to explore. (We have a block of rooms reserved that will go quickly!)

 

Take advantage of Early Pricing to save money!  Early Pricing ends on July 10.  Attendees will be sent the link to hotel room block at the InterContinental Miami after they register. 

 

We have 78 Breakout Sessions to inspire you, 10 Spark Talks to energize you, and a range of labs and workshops designed to educate and engage. This year, we also made a strong commitment to elevating new voices by encouraging panels to include first-time speakers. We’re proud to share that 53 new presenters will be taking the stage in our Breakout Sessions and Spark Talks, bringing fresh perspectives and new ideas to the conversation.

 

We will once again be using the Whova conference app.  Attendees will have schedules, tours, and conversations at their fingertips.  Instructions will be sent closer to the event.
