Overview:

Located immediately adjacent to the national historic landmark Biltmore Hotel is the Conference Center of the Americas (CCA), a world-class conference and education center with technologically advanced facilities.

The CCA has become South Florida's preferred site for high-level professional and executive education programming, and now enhances The Biltmore as the Americas' host for corporate briefings, executive education and public policy conferences.

A $14 million renovation in the year 2000 produced 40,000 square feet of exceptional function space that includes eight main meeting rooms, six breakout rooms, a 6,200 sq. ft. Ballroom, two, state-of-the-art amphitheaters, and a private executive boardroom, all set within the historic ambiance and luxurious surroundings of the Biltmore Hotel.

Every general session and breakout room is supported by powerful technology: “plug-and-play” high-speed web and videoconferencing capability. Three elegant classrooms offer dual LCD rear-screen projection. Refurbished spaces have received advanced sound, lighting and Ethernet access to T-1 broadband Internet.

The two, tiered amphitheaters, seating 60-90 and 90-130 persons provide dedicated wireless simultaneous translation and Audience Response systems. Every participant station is wired for 120 v., Ethernet, analog phone lines and personal task lighting. Amphitheaters have dual, rear-screen projection, full, audio support and complete remote control of the room from each speaker’s podium.

All operational systems and services are totally integrated between the CCA and The Biltmore so that conference attendees receive meeting and hotel experiences of exceptional quality.

Specifications and a virtual tour of the facility are available for viewing at www.ccamericas.com. The Biltmore/CCA complex is the center point of a beautifully landscaped residential neighborhood in Coral Gables, Florida, ten minutes from Miami International Airport and the major business districts of Miami-Dade County.
