&RECAP: MIAMI HOSPITALITY SHOWCASE

group 28

Ampersand Studios partnered with Xu Collective for the second annual Miami Hospitality Showcase, a curated trade-show style event. This international vendor showcase is a social affair dedicated to the arts & design community, providing organic business growth opportunities among global and local brands. The event brought together manufacturers of all categories for a chance to showcase their products to a group of designers, marketers, real estate agents and other vendors.

Xu Collective looks to amplify the community of Miami’s hospitality design professionals to deepen connections and provide opportunities for growth, support, and inspiration. In a city this vibrant in art and design, the network of designers and vendors that bring spaces to life should shine as brightly.  

We worked with the team at Xu Collective to create a unique vendor floor plan within our Member’s Lounge, and hosted a night that provided networking opportunities while attendees enjoyed live music, bites and drinks throughout the space. The night ended with a raffle where guests entered for a chance to win Apple Speakers, and complimentary Memberships at Ampersand Studios. 

This yearly activation is part of Ampersand’s &Grow, a program designed to be a creative incubator with consultative growth accelerator program designed to help entrepreneurs and enterprising companies define go-to market strategies to launch their products and services to the world. We partner with brands to activate immersive experiences in our space. Xu Collective and Ampersand Studios believe that the industry is better together and we look forward to continuing forging connections and hosting events that bolster long lasting relationships.
