In this episode, we had a detailed discussion with Suzette from East of Collins about the intricacies of navigating event permits in Miami. We cover a wide range of topics including the difficulties of planning events during Miami's hot summer months, the high-impact weekends such as Art Basel and F1, and the importance of early permit application—sometimes as early as 90 days prior. The conversation highlights Suzette’s extensive experience in the Miami event scene, from handling engineering and fire safety plans to working with local authorities to ensure compliance. Suzette also advises event planners on the importance of being thorough in the planning stages to avoid last-minute issues and costs. Additionally, she emphasizes the benefits of having a local expert to navigate Miami's complex permitting landscape and shares insights on emerging trends and shifts in event locations within the city.
