Florida International University's North Miami campus (Wolfe Center) offers a beautiful, verdant South Florida campus to host your next meeting or event. Almost completely surrounded by water and situated just off Biscayne Bay, this picturesque venue provides modern, well provisioned Audio Visual capabilities for its 304-seat theatre, 6000 square foot ballroom and other smaller meeting facilities. This location is able to host up to 600 guests within its nine meeting and event rooms. Catering is available from the University, or you can opt to hire your catering out separately. Nearby hotels can provide overnight lodging for your guests. The campus is a mere 25 minutes away from Miami International Airport, and its location is a convenient drive for Dade and southern Brevard County residents. Non-Profits, be sure to mention your tax status to obtain a special discount!

The campus' beautiful vistas will certainly win over your guests, but that's just the start! North Miami is a close drive to all sorts of wonderful attractions. The ocean itself is one of these attractions. The Gulf Stream sees to it that waters remain warm all year round! What a great way to spend some free time! You can go snorkeling, learn to SCUBA dive, go sailing or on a boat tour.

When it comes to Dining, there are several quality unique offerings as well. Oishi Thai offers up delightful dishes that will tease and titillate your tastebuds. The Palm is a truly exceptional steak and seafood restaurant, famous for generous portions and quality. Just a bit further north is the Pilar, a delightful restaurant which specializes in fish but serves a very diverse menue. Jeremy, the owner, is a highly celebrated chef, and a licensed fishing captain and fisherman as well! For nearby fine dining and quality service, try the Acqua Mare seafood bar & grill.

The Miami region of South Florida has a style, feel, pulse and flavor all its own. Broadly eclectic, if there's a common thread it's the way that they reach for excellence there. A truly international city, it's home to a literal wealth of financial institutions, and a major patron of the Arts. Forbes Magazine calls Miami the "Cleanest City in America" while the beauty of its skyline follows only Chicago and New York City.

When looking for a venue in this area, it's important that the location be both convenient and fairly close to the ocean. The breezes that flow across the Wolfe Center make this tropical paradise a very comfortable place. Guests can enjoy the outdoors settings as well as the well-apportioned indoor facilities. The campus is near the main thoroughfare, yet well enough sequestered that one could easily think of it as a tranquil oasis. Everything one could want is within a short drive, from shopping and dining to any number of the popular attractions found throughout the Miami area. All things considered, Florida International University provides an extraordinary venue for meetings and events of any kind, a fantastic foundation to ensure that your gathering is a stellar success!
