DEIB

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging

At the Miami Beach Convention Center (MBCC), we are committed to fostering a culture of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) throughout our organization. Located in one of the most diverse cities in the world, we proudly reflect and celebrate the cultural richness that defines our community. Our values are rooted in the belief that every individual should feel respected, valued, and empowered to thrive.

We strive to integrate inclusive practices into workplace interactions, guest experiences, and business operations. Our goals include removing barriers to opportunity, promoting fairness, and ensuring that all individuals feel welcomed and represented. Through our Supplier Diversity Program, we aim to create equitable access and visibility for businesses of all backgrounds. In addition, we encourage community engagement through volunteering and civic participation.

Our approach to diversity embraces a wide spectrum of identities and experiences and is aligned with all applicable equal employment opportunity and non-discrimination laws. We are committed to building a respectful and inclusive environment for all who work with and visit us.
