New Membership Fees 2024

Dear IACCSE Members,

We extend our heartfelt gratitude for your steadfast support of the Italy-America Chamber of Commerce Southeast’s activities and mission.

Over the past three decades, the Chamber has played a pivotal role in fostering networking opportunities and cultivating a collaborative business environment within the Italian community in the US Southeast

Throughout this period, we have struggled to keep unchanged our membership fees.

However, due to the substantial rise in operational costs, encompassing personnel, rent, insurance, and various other factors, the Board of Directors has made the decision to implement a small increase in membership fees, effective January 1st, 2024

The new fees for 2024 are as follows:

  • Corporate Membership: from $500 to $600/year
  • Sustaining Membership: from $1,000 to $1,200/year
  • Premium Membership will remain unchanged at $2,500/year

We trust you understand that as a nonprofit organization managing diverse commitments and projects, the IACCSE must take this necessary step. Maintaining the same membership fees would be unfeasible given the significant economic changes since our establishment in 1991.

To ensure a smooth transition, the IACCSE Board is providing a grace period of 60 days until February 28 for members wishing to renew their membership in advance at the old rates, even if their membership expires later in the year. 

For instance, if your membership expires on June 1st 2024 and you renew before February 28th, 2024, the old rate will be applicable

Nonetheless your 12 months membership will continue to be counted from June 1st 2024. 

After February 28th the new rates will automatically apply.

We sincerely appreciate your ongoing support for the Italy-America Chamber of Commerce Southeast and hope to continue counting on your membership in the years ahead.

Please contact info@iacc-miami.com to renew today your membership.

THE BEST OF ITALIAN DESIGN

Miami, Autunno 2024

 

Presentazione:

Nel 2022 l’export italiano verso gli USA ha registrato una forte crescita (+12,7%) rispetto al 2021, con un valore 69 miliardi di dollari, il miglior risultato di sempre.

 

In particolare, nel 2022, le esportazioni italiane di arredo ed edilizia negli Stati Uniti hanno raggiunto la cifra di 4 miliardi di dollari, con una crescita del +18% rispetto all’anno precedente, posizionando l’Italia al sesto posto tra i fornitori di arredo. In particolare, registrano crescite importanti i Mobili (+25%), le Sedie (+25%), il Vetro (+22,8%), l’Illuminazione (+16,1%) e le Ceramiche (+11,5%) (Fonte: ICE).

Per molti brand d’arredo Miami risulta ormai essere il primo mercato, superando sia New York che Los Angeles. Il mercato del real estate dell’area metropolitana di Miami è tra i più dinamici ed in crescita a livello mondiale. Il Miami Design District è il quartiere con la più alta concentrazione di showroom di arredo di alta gamma in tutti gli Stati Uniti. Miami rappresenta inoltre un punto di riferimento in ambito distributivo e logistico per l’America Latina.

È proprio per dare visibilità alle eccellenze del design italiano sull’importante piazza di Miami che la Italy-America Chamber of Commerce Southeast organizzerà, il prossimo autunno 2024 nello spazio 4141 Atrium nel cuore del Miami Design District, la quinta edizione dell’evento “The Best of Italian Design”.

Circa 150 architetti, rivenditori e interior designer americani verranno invitati per una giornata di incontri B2B, seminari e networking con le imprese italiane.

Durante l’evento sono in programma discussioni stimolanti condotte da influenti protagonisti dell’industria dell’architettura e del design. Inoltre, i partecipanti avranno l’opportunità di partecipare a incontri B2B e ad una serata diffusa di networking organizzata in diversi showroom italiani all’interno del Miami Design District.

Il programma della quarta edizione del The Best of Italian Design si articolerà come segue:

*   Sessione B2B: apertura area expo e incontri tra espositori e visitatori professionali

*  Seminari: incontri sul settore arredo design nel Sud della Florida

*   Networking Cocktail: una serata diffusa tra gli showroom italiani di design del Miami Design District per continuare gli incontri tra operatori in compagnia di cocktail a base di liquori italiani.
