The greater Fort Myers area is where creativity and innovation thrive. Whether you’re planning an intimate event, mid-size meetup or large-scale gathering, we can accommodate it. Bring attendees together in a destination where work seamlessly meets play.
Our area has over 220,000 total square feet of meeting space, and venues include a convention center, hotel ballrooms, historic homes, and open-air restaurants. The Caloosa Sound Convention Center & Amphitheater is located in the heart of downtown Fort Myers and the modern Luminary Hotel & Co., Autograph Collection, is just a short walk away. Waterfront hotels like The Westin Cape Coral Resort at Marina Village, Marriott Sanibel Harbour Resort & Spa, and Hyatt Regency Cocoanut Point and Spa offer flexible meeting space while allowing attendees to take advantage of on-site amenities between sessions. Historic properties, like the Edison and Ford Winter Estates, can host groups in unique environments that inspire outside-the-box thinking.
Send teams off-site to network and bond. For fun on land, groups can explore boardwalks and trails at nature preserves throughout the greater Fort Myers area. Many groups enjoy giving back to the community by participating in a beach cleanup or helping maintain the landscape. Golfers can tee off at Fort Myers Country Club, once the favored course of two of America’s most prominent inventors, Thomas Edison and Henry Ford. On-the-water adventures are group-friendly, including sailing lessons, island-hopping charters and dolphin tours. Of course, sun and white-sand beaches are two of the best parts of meeting in Southwest Florida.
