I drove down to Miami leaving Orlando around 5:30 a.m.!
I took a tour of the Miami Free Zone at 10 a.m. I barely made it. I arrived at the complex at 9:42 a.m. Whew. The zone is very neat. It is somewhere I would like to work (but not in Miami). A lot of the organizations I work with now in Orlando are also located at the zone in Miami. We need to see why OIA doesnโt have one. The zone not only works with importers and exporters, but it also works with wholesalers. I think it would be neat to see something with retailers. Who knowsโฆ..
The tour took like 15 minutes. Ugh. I drove to downtown Miami and checked-in. I am in here for the Discover Global Markets event by the U.S. Commercial Service. I know a lot of people from Florida and from the event in Charlotte. I had some time so I drove down to Miami Beach and walked around.
At 2 p.m., I attended two different educational seminars. I actually have learned a lot about international trade in the last year.
