Optimists International

Welcome to our sunny shores. We are excited and committed to being your host destination for Optimists International 2023.

Greater Fort Lauderdale has all the elements of a successful meeting in one dynamic destination within convenient reach.

Arriving and departing is a breeze at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) with more than 350 average daily flights, offering non-stop service to more than 85 U.S. cities and more than 62 international destinations in 33 countries. When you land, you’re already in the heart of the city, just three miles from hotels, the LEED® Gold Certified Broward County Convention Center, Port Everglades, attractions, beaches, and just about anywhere else attendees want to be. Stretch that meeting budget much further as Greater Fort Lauderdale was ranked #1 with the lowest tax-burden out of the top 50 U.S. cities.

Enjoy unparalleled attention from our award-winning SUNsational Service team, who will be dedicated to you throughout the planning process, from site inspections and hotel contracts to off-site receptions and welcome materials.

Please know that you also have whole-hearted support from the entire community, including Broward County government, local businesses and our hospitality partners. Your happiness is our number one goal, and we work hard to create memorable experiences for your attendees.
