The Miami Beach Convention Center has been named a Certified Autism Center™ (CAC), awarded the designation by the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES). “Inclusion and accessibility are priority initiatives for our destination,” said Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau President & CEO David Whitaker. “MBCC achieving this designation is significant. It’s a critical step in better serving Greater Miami and Miami Beach’s diverse travel community, helps us attract meetings and gets us even closer to achieving our countywide goal of being a Certified Autism Destination (CAD).”
Exciting news: The Miami Beach Convention Center (MBCC) has been named a Certified Autism Center™ (CAC), awarded the designation by the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES). This comes on the heels of the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau achieving its CAC designation in April. As a CAC, the MBCC has taken proactive steps to ensure that autistic and sensory-sensitive visitors feel welcome and supported. The certification process involved comprehensive training for the MBCC’s customer-facing staff from Oak View Group, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to support autistic individuals, as well as an onsite review by IBCCES to provide recommendations on other enhancements. “Achieving the Certified Autism Center™ designation marks a pivotal next step in our commitment to inclusivity, and I am extremely proud of our staff’s dedication and achievement. This autism certification enables the Miami Beach Convention Center, owned by the City of Miami Beach and proudly managed by Oak View Group, to better serve visitors with special needs, setting a new standard for accessibility in the events industry,” said MBCC General Manager Freddie Peterson. “We are grateful for our amazing partnership with the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, which has been instrumental in supporting our efforts to create a more inclusive and welcoming environment for all visitors. We look forward to adding the IBCCES sensory guides to our informational website and have identified quiet spaces inside the MBCC, as well as outside, where Pride Park, Collins Canal Park, and the Miami Beach Botanical Garden provide naturally calming surroundings.” Read more: https://bit.ly/4cTOPSG International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES) Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau Greater Miami and the Beaches Hotel Association The Greater Miami LGBTQ Chamber of Commerce (MDGLCC) Miami Beach Convention Center Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce City of Miami Beach Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Authority Oak View Group Sodexo Live!
