The 88th International Atlantic Economic Conference was held in Miami, 17-20 October 2019. Known as the gateway to Latin America, this Southern most major U.S. city is home to a large Spanish speaking population. You will be mesmerized by the South American, and Caribbean cultural connection Miami offers to this lively and tropical locale. All conference sessions were held at the Hyatt Regency Coral Gables.
The city’s name originated from the native Mayaimi tribe which inhabited this particular area of South Florida in the 1600’s. By 1869, Miami officially became a city after local businesswoman Julia DeForest Tuttle suggested to American industrialist Henry Flagler that he should extend his railroads to the then infant city. Today, Julia is known as the “Mother of Miami” and is credited as the only woman to have ever founded a major U.S. city.
