The offerings are Latin flavored dishes from burgers to ethnic and more. Acting Assistant City Manager Max Sklar states that “We’re looking forward to people enjoying good food, music and the charm of our beautiful beaches.”

The North Shore section of Miami is a popular tourist destination as well. There are 48 restaurants within a few blocks of the North Shore Bandshell, and a multitude of motels as well.

Another plus to attending the Miami Beach Food Truck and Music Fest, is its proximity to the beach. Enjoy a day of fun and relaxation with beach activities before the Food Truck and Music Fest.

Best way to sell concert tickets online

You have created the perfect event, chosen the ideal venue, and now the final step in the process is getting the tickets sold. The Web is an excellent way to promote your event and sell event tickets. With the right setup, you can -

Choose Ticket Types

First, you will need to decide on the ticket types you are going to sell. Will you have different ticket levels based on the location in the venue or the type of food served? Will certain ticket holders get to enter earlier than others? Determine the type of tickets you will offer, and then find an online ticket distribution program that allows you to set up sales to include those different ticket options.

Find an Online Ticket Distributor

Next, find an online ticket distributor that you can use to sell your tickets. There are sites designed specifically for ticket sales which have pre-made forms that you can use to capture customer information and credit card numbers. You will want one that makes registration easy for potential buyers and collects the information you will need to deliver your tickets. Complicated forms decrease your chances of successful sales. Also, watch for the fees charged by the sales page. While some fees should be expected, your potential guests will not want to pay exorbitant fees to attend your event and buy the tickets online.

Advertise

Finally, once everything is set up for you to sell your tickets, you need to get the word out to those who are interested in attending your event. Visit forums, post articles and pay for advertising promoting your event, and point people to your sales page. Once people hear about your event and are drawn to your sales page, you will likely see many visitors converted into buyers.

Using social media to promote your WMC event

Every year in March the streets of Miami come alive with deep bass and luscious techno sounds of electronic music during the 28th-Annual Winter Music Conference (WMC). If this year's gathering of Electronic Dance Music (EDM) industry professionals is anything like last year's, attendees can expect to find more than 2,300 artists performing at over 100 events all over Miami during this exciting week.

Promoting events during the Winter Music Conference can be a challenge. With so many activities, parties and gatherings on tap during this week, promoters must use every tool available, especially social media, to attract spectators and participants to their events in Miami.

Why is social media so important for event planning? First off, the obvious, it's free. Planners can promote their events multiple times on Facebook or Twitter to remind everyone about their festivities or conferences, where they will be located and what will be happening or who will be headlining.

Promoters can also use Facebook and Twitter to sponsor contests to give away a few entries to their Winter Music Conference events while simultaneously telling people how to purchase their own tickets. Especially savvy promoters will also use links to interesting Instagram pictures or create YouTube videos to promote their events that, with any luck, could go viral and result in even more free advertising.

Event planners should post promotional videos and professional photography to create visual hype surrounding their event. Lots of visual content should also be taken during the event to capitalize on post event buzz. Using a high profile party venue in Miami is a great way to add extra excitement. Soho Studios, which is a 65,000-square-foot facility, is the premier event space in Miami. Its location in the Wynwood Art District and edgy industrial detailing make it an especially perfect backdrop for a Winter Music Conference event.

Because the Winter Music Conference has so many functions occurring at the same time, it is important for planners to take advantage of all that social media has to offer in order to keep interest high in their particular events.

Winter Party Festival

All tickets and passes are available for pick up at the Shelborne South Beach Hotel, located at 1801 Collins Avenue. Starting on Sunday March 10, Will Call will be moved to the entrance of the Beach Party, located at Lummus Park, which is near 12th Street.

Creating a unique event in Miami

Using an event space in Miami, everyone knows that for an event in Miami to go off smoothly you have got to offer people a reason to be there, most times the motivation is based on refreshments and entertainment. But should you really let yourself be content with that when instead you could plan a wildly innovative party at a fantastic venue? Here are some tips to help you inspire unique scenarios that send your guests home saying “Wow.” Consider what people do at a get-together: they cluster, talk, laugh, experience, and share. Give your guests a reason to do these things by planning your event in Miami with an eye to the details. Choose unique elements for interior decorating, installations, and sculptures. People notice the effort you put in beforehand, so don’t skimp on the preparation and everyone will be impressed.

Also think about what you can do that will help people experience something new, whether that is new people, new music, new video, or new forms of entertainment. Live animals always surprise and intrigue people, as do live shows. Every event in Miami is an opportunity for teaching moments, for creating groups out of disparate guests, and for offering delightfully unique experiences.

Don’t be afraid to incorporate technology. In today’s gadget-savvy world, folks love nothing more than an excuse to get in touch with their techie sides. Give them what they want with digital kiosks, flat panel televisions, web-enabled interactive custom devices and fun that can help them engage with their own mobile devices. Using social media live during events in miami is another way to ramp things up.

Even the digital low-road can incorporate uncommon touches like avant-garde lighting, camera crews and talented actors. Depending on the scope of your event in Miami, type of event space in Miami and the message you’re hoping to convey, you can plan a wide variety of settings, activities, and special touches to complement the more basic offerings of food, drink, music, and fun. As the saying goes, if you shoot for the moon and miss, you’ll still land among the stars.
