INTRODUCTION
The City of Miami Department of Economic Development (DED) is
proposing that the City of Miami participate in a "Greater Miami"
business promotion exhibit at the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition in
New Orleans, during the period of July 1- 14, 1984. (See Attachment
I - Proposal) The objectives of such participation are as follows:
1. To identify and recruit new businesses to Miami.
2. To attract investments to Miami.
3. To develop corporate prospect lists from contacts made at
this event.
114o7-ivnl
84-5,14
f
4. To analyze the opportunity costs for future participation in
similar events by means of an evaluation report that will be
prepared at the conclusion of Miami's involvement in this
event.
To this end, the DED is requesting that an amount not to exceed
$159,000 be allocated for a "Greater Miami" business promotion
exhibit at two of the most important trade shows to be held at the
-
World's Fair, the X-PORT X-SELL (July 1 - 7, 1984) and the
-
International Salute to Small Business (July 8 - 14, 1984).
=-
It should be understood that the $159,000 budget is divided into two
primary categories - reimbursable expenses and non-reimbursable
�o
expenses. (See Attachment II - Budget) Also, although the total
budget will remain at $159,000 there could be line -item modifications
`
because of in -kind contributions or changes in the existing work
program.
5�
t
The reimbursable expense total of $134,490 represents those common
costs which the City of Miami feels will be partly reir,�bursed by
local pi-ivate, non-profit, and other public sector parti ipants in
�.
the Grnatr ;iami exhibit. That is to say, in meeting_ d Hoc
,3 �5
Task Force composed of representatives of such - o u p s as :;he Dade
s
County Industrial Development Authority and the Office of Community
4`
and Economic Development, the Cities of Miami Beach and Coral Gables,
the Inter n :t.ionai Center of Florida, the Greater '1i.ami. Chamber of
Commerce, and the Downtolqr) Development Authority, informal
�.
eommitment.> were obtained to assist the DED with the event, by either
contributing funds or 'n-kind services. Thus, it is anticipated that
the City's monetary contribution towards the reimbursable expenses
will be significably reduced.
On the other hand, the non -reimbursable expense total of $24,510
represents costs for City of Miami personnel and promotional
materials. As a result, such expenses will not be borne by any
entity, other than the City of Miami.
It is important to note that in the event that no other group
contributes funds or in -kind services, the City of Miami will be
obligated to pay for the entire budget of $159,000. In such a
situation, the emphasis of the exhibit will be shifted to solely
promoting the City of Miami, and not the Greater Miami area.
BACKGROUND
The 1984 Louisiana World Exposition, (LWP) a six month event, will
open its gates on May 12th to a projected 12 million visitors. The
following, according to the attached proposal (Attachment II), is a
84-544
more detailed breakdown of the projected LWP attendance:
Projected foreign buyer attendance (peak week)
daily attendance ............ 19273
weekly.... 8,946
(based on statistics/demographics extrapolated from the
1982 World's Fair in Knoxville and corporate tour
packages sold)
Estimated foreign visitor attendance (peak week)
daily attendance ............ 8,520
weekly .....................59,640
Expected total attendance (peak week)
daily attendance ........... 71,000
weekly ....................497,000
The LWP will offer a dimension that has never before been offered at
the World's Fair, the International Business Center (IBC). The IBC,
a self-contained pavilion featuring a program of continuous business
support services and selected product trade shows, is being, sponsored
by the J.S. Department of Commerce, the Louisiana Office of Commerce
and Industry, the ;'art :f i:ew Orleans and the Interi o n a 1 Trade
Mart.
The proposed Greater 1iami exhibit would be housed at the IBC during
the following two important trade shows:
1. X-PORT X-SELL (July 1 - 7, 1984) This trade show, which will be
The main at;tracti.on of "USA Week" at the World's Fair, will
feature general U.S. products and services for export. Its
emphasis wi11 be on assisting small through large typically
established exporters to seed; market expansion and consoiidation.
2. International Salute to Small Business (July 8 - 14, This
trade show, the main attraction of "Small Business ',leek" at the
World's Fair, will also feature general U.S. products and
services for export. The trade show's goal will be to assist
small businesses seeking overseas market entry.
In addition, during the two week period that the Greater Miami
exhibit would be housed at the aforementioned trade shows, it is
anticipated that a "Greater Miami Day at the Louisiana World's Fair"
would be held to promote our area. This event should draw a
significant number of visitors to our exhibit.
Also, the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce and the International
Center of Florida have offered to recruit twenty (20) senior level
business executives from the South Florida area to be present at the
84- 44
n S k iAl SY'., - S
'jib -{-
Greater Miami exhibit booth during the two trade shows. These
executives would rotate on a daily basis and would be available to
discuss the advantages of doing business in Miami with interested
individuals. It is anticipated that advertisements will be placed to
promote the fact that such senior executives will be at the Greater
Miami exhibit. All costs related to such participation would be
borne by the sponsoring corporation.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City, allocate an amount not to exceed
$159,000, for a "Greater Miami" business promotion exhibit at the
1984 Louisiana World Exposition. This total, includes funds in the
amount of $10,414 for a professional services agreement with Whelan
and Associates to coordinate all activities related to Greater
Miami's participation in this event. Whelan and Associates has had
experience in working in past world fairs, and locally participated
in the effort to attract the EXPO 500 to Miami.
Although participation
in this event could conceivably cost the City
of Miami as much as $159,000,
there is
no doubt that the
exposure it
stands to receive will
greatly outweigh
the costs that are
involved.
The follocging factors,
according to the
attacc:ed proposal
(Attachment
I), furthe!� -al"7p113size
the importance
of having a City
like Miami
participate in this event.
World's Fairs characteristically
attract more high
income and
corporate visitors that any other
exposition,
fair or
theme park.
Entry fee is $15 per day.
New Orleans is considered an "Adult Town".
Without
a World's
Fair, 8 million visitors came to
New Orleans
in 1983.
Corporate
package tours booked for the Fair
indicate that
Boards
of Director
and stockholders of major corporations plan
to combine business
meetings with a World's Fair tour.
All trade shows in the IBC will receive worldwide promotion
through the U.S. Department of Commerce overseas office, World
Trade Center, Port of New Orleans, State of Louisiana foreign
offices.
50 Corporations are participating in the World's Fair. These and
Greater Miami commercial prospects could be invited to visit the
Miami International Services and Trade exhibit.
The 1982 World's Fair in Knoxville, Tennessee was attended by 11
million visitors. 9% were foreign corporate visitors. New
Orleans projects 12%.
84-544
Services offered at the IBC include U.S. Department of Commerce
trade data banks, hospitality areas, translator bank, a theatre
for seminars, a trade library, Commodities/Stock Exchange Display
and a directory of business exhibits.
International participants include Australia, Canada, France,
Italy, Japan, Liberia, Mexico, People's Republic of China,
Republic of South Korea, the U.S., the Vatican, Belgium, Denmark,

Because the IBC is a first on the World's Fair scene, actual
statistics of corporate attendance are.not available. There-
fore, the following considerations should be taken into account
in Greater Miami's decision to participate in the IBC.
e World's Fairs characteristically a.tt:: act more high
income and corporate visitors than any othez exposi-
tion, fair or theme park. Entry fee is $15 per day.
0 New Orleans is considered an "adult town". Without

Greater Miami, Gateway to•the Americas
occupy a position of high visibility at
A meeting was held April 11, 1984 at the City of Miami Office
of Economic Development. The Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce,
South Florida Coordinating Council, the International Center of
Florida, the City of Miami. Office of International Trade and
Development and Dade County Industrial Development Authority
were also represented. Attendees recommended that- a multi -booth
multi --corporate participation be organized to spotlight Greater
Miami as the center for international services and trade.
The targeted time frame is July, during which peak attendance
is projected. Two trade show, during that month are of partic-
ular relevance to international business:

Business Week" at the World's Fair.
INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS CENTER
Because the IBC is a first on the World's Fair scene, actual
statistics of corporate attendance are not available. There-
fore, the following considerations should be taken into account
in Greater Miami's decision to participate in the IBC.
• World's Fairs characteristically attract more high
income and corporate visitors than any other exposi-
tion, fair or theme park. Entry fee is $15 per day.
i New Orleans is considered an "adult to.an". 11ithout
a World's Fair, 8 million visitors came to New Orleans
in 1983. Corporate package tours booked for the Fair
indicate that Boards of Director and stockholders of
major corporations plan to conil)i_ne business• meetings
with a tdorld's Fair tour.
• New Orleans has 27,000 hotel rooms. I.1ost are "VIP"
class hotels, $70 - $150 per night. All hotels offer
a World's Fair video channel for on -site activities.
Miami could list its exhibit on the schedule of events.

Fair. New Orlean's July humidity guarantees that
most Fair --goers will visit the air-conditioned

GREATER MIAMI INTERNATIONAL SERVICES AND TRADE EXHIBIT
An exhibit comprised of three 10' by 10' booths is recommended.
Two locations are being held (see floor plan) for l,'iami but
a security deposit of $3325.00 must be paid as soon as possible.
(50% of gross space rental = $3125 plus $50 per staff credential).
Exhibit Plan A
Tom Will of LATCOM and organizer of Communicaciones '84 pledged
the deposit payable May 4th if the exhibit is comprised of a
teleconferencing screen programmed from Miami, and if, by May
4, meetings are underway to assure participation is moving in
that direction.

AT&T Information Systems' corporate affairs director for Florida
is David Culley who was the executive director of Expo 500. He
has solicited the cooperation of Ron Freeman, branch manager for
South Florida, Enrique Lopez, technical director_ and Marcus McEwen,
account executive for the City of Miami to work directly with the
City to organize the line feed and equipment for a teleconferenced
exhibit programmed from, Miami.
Channel. 2 was approached with regard to programming but George
Duly, chief executive is out of town until Wednesday, May 2.
Live feed and taped programs could be transmitted to New Orleans.
Programming this exhibit is the most complicated and costly item
in this type of exhibit. No definite figures are available at
this point. A suggestion from McEwen is to solicit communications
directors of local networks for raw tape to be edited for trans-
mission. Pr_omotionaa_ films for Miami could also be aired.
Cost of a 1i_nc and equipment.: total $600.00.

inform,it:i.c:,n is available.
Exhibit Plan B
A sophisticated, high quality exhibit could be comprised of
photo panels, a video monitor, literature and staff. The
three booths would combine into a luxurious office environment
with a panoramic view from a downtown highrise of Miami's sky-
line and Biscayne Bay.(an 0' by 10' 3M Scanamural).
Two-color display boards are available. The curved surface
forms a solid wall covered in velcro for easy attachment and
removal of graphics. The lightweight units are easily trans-
portable as air cargo and can be set-up in an hour, thus
eliminating the cost of union labor. The costs are listed in
the budget and can be amortized over future trade show parti-
cipation.
Corporate sponscrs of: the exhibit %..ould be invited to utilize
the video monitor for promotion.
Padded benches or comfortable chairs will increase booth time
by weary fair -goers.
The exhibit will emphasize international services and trade and
the quality of life of Greater Miami.
