Miami Swim Week’s upcoming installment promises an immersive experience featuring cutting-edge technologies such as AR, VR, Virtual-Marketplaces, and Blockchain. These advancements and various beauty and wellness activities will elevate Swim Week into a multi-sensory extravaganza. Attendees can anticipate conscious beauty lounges, the designer marketplace “splash,” industry receptions and luncheons, impact panels with industry experts, exclusive parties, pop-up shops, networking events, and the Hammock Trade Show, all against the backdrop of the picturesque Miami coastline. The SLS South Beach, National Hotel, Queen Miami Beach, Hyde Beach, Salvaje Miami, and Seaspice are among the venues set to host these exclusive activities.
