U.S. Minority Chamber Invites American Companies to 27th Anniversary Global Business Convention in Miami
The U.S. Minority Chamber of Commerce is inviting American companies, entrepreneurs, executives, investors, and business leaders to participate in its 27th Anniversary Global Business Convention, taking place September 3–5, 2026, at the Sheraton Miami Airport Hotel in Miami, Florida.
The three-day Convention is designed to create a practical platform where U.S. businesses can connect with new markets, buyers, suppliers, investors, government opportunities, and strategic partners throughout the Caribbean, Central America, and Latin America.
Together, We Can Do More
For 27 years, the Chamber has worked to strengthen entrepreneurship, economic development, trade, and commercial opportunity throughout the United States and the Americas.
The 2026 Convention reflects that mission under a simple message:
Together, We Can Do More.
The Chamber believes American businesses are stronger when they can exchange knowledge, develop trusted relationships, access new markets, and pursue opportunities together rather than navigating international expansion alone.
“American companies do not have to enter international markets alone. Together, we can do more, open doors, create opportunities, strengthen trade and build greater prosperity throughout the Americas,” said Doug Mayorga, President & CEO of the U.S. Minority Chamber of Commerce.

Miami: A Gateway to the Americas
Miami remains one of the most important commercial bridges between the United States, the Caribbean, Central America, and Latin America.
Its geographic position, international business community, transportation infrastructure, multilingual workforce, and commercial networks make it a natural meeting point for companies pursuing opportunities across the hemisphere.
Through its international relationships, the U.S. Minority Chamber of Commerce seeks to help facilitate trade, investment, procurement, logistics, technology partnerships, and economic cooperation between U.S. businesses and companies throughout the region.
The Convention will bring together business leaders and international delegates for a concentrated program of education, networking, commercial engagement, and relationship building.
Featuring the 32nd U.S. Leadership Awards Gala
As part of the Chamber’s 27th Anniversary celebration, the Convention is expected to feature the 32nd U.S. Leadership Awards Gala, recognizing distinguished leaders for their service, achievement, leadership, and contribution to the nation.
Additional gala and honoree information will be announced separately.
An Invitation to American Business
The Chamber encourages companies to view the Convention as more than another networking event.
It is an opportunity to place their business in front of new contacts, explore new markets, identify potential commercial relationships, and better understand where their products, services, technology, and expertise may create value throughout the Americas.
“Our message is simple: if American businesses have the products, services, technology and talent, the Americas offer tremendous opportunities. Our job is to help build the bridges,” Mayorga said.
