Built for real relationships,
not badge collectors

We made a deliberate decision years ago: PIP will never become a trade show. When the same group of business leaders shares four days together meals, pool parties, real conversations you leave knowing people by name. That's by design.

The intentional intimacy is why attendees come back. It's why sponsors sell out. It's why the connections made at PIP turn into real deals and lasting partnerships.

🤝

Real Relationships

You'll know nearly everyone in the room by Sunday. That's by design.

👔

Business Leaders Only

Every seat is a Florida business owner, entrepreneur, or executive.

High-Energy Program

Keynotes, panels, workshops, and parties every hour is designed.

🌴

Luxury Setting

Gaylord Palms water park, world-class dining, stunning atriums.

Everything You Need to Know

Why is PIP capped at 150 people?+

Because a room of 150 people over four days creates real relationships. A room of 500 creates a sea of strangers with lanyards. Six years in, the feedback is unanimous the cap is what makes PIP special. You will know nearly everyone in that room by Sunday.

Full Access covers everything from Thursday evening through Sunday checkout.

Can I pay over time?+

Yes. Select Affirm at checkout to split your purchase into monthly payments. Subject to Affirm approval and their terms. See Affirm at checkout for details.

What's the difference between Full Access and a Guest Pass?+

The Guest Pass, only available with a Full Access Pass purchase, gives your plus-one access to all social and networking events the Welcome Reception, Pool Party, and Closing Celebration Miami Vice Night. Guest passes do not include Friday's General Session and keynote.

How do I book the hotel at the group rate?+
