Meeting professionals have no shortage of destination options. What sets Fort Myers - Islands, Beaches and Neighborhoods apart is the ability to create meetings that feel effortless to plan and impossible to forget.

Here, productive meeting days naturally transition into waterfront receptions, sunset networking events, outdoor team building experiences and one of a kind off site venues. It's the kind of destination where attendees stay engaged, build stronger connections and leave talking about the experience, not just the agenda.

The best part? Delivering these moments doesn't mean adding work to your planning process. Our team connects you with the right venues, trusted local partners and customized recommendations that align with your goals, budget and attendee expectations.

You'll receive planning inspiration, venue spotlights, destination news and practical resources created specifically for meeting and event professionals. Our goal is to help you discover new ideas, simplify the planning process and create experiences that keep attendees engaged from arrival to departure.

The Fort Myers-area culinary scene has earned statewide recognition with three local restaurants included in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide Florida: 

Liberty, Fort Myers

The Bohemian, Bonita Springs

Canary Club, Bonita Springs (also awarded a Bib Gourmand distinction for good quality, good value cooking)
