Destination Southeast is a specialized, hosted-buyer event tailored for professionals looking to build meaningful connections within the hospitality and meetings industry across the Southeastern United States. Held at the Omni Fort Lauderdale, this event bypasses the typical large-scale trade show floor in favor of focused, one-on-one appointments between qualified buyers and representatives from top hotels, resorts, and tourism offices. Whether it is discovering new attractions in Florida or connecting with DMCs from Tennessee and Virginia, the program is built on pre-scheduled meetings that lead to actual business results. Beyond the appointments, the event provides a quiet environment for networking and gaining insights from industry speakers on current travel and incentive trends. Hosted by major industry brands like Successful Meetings and Incentive magazine, Destination Southeast 2026 offers a direct and efficient way to explore the professional landscape of a region known for its unique hospitality and diverse event venues.
