Program Description & Benefits

Miami's Fast Track for Executive Relocation

What is the Senior Executive Orientation® (SEO) Program?

The Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce began the Senior Executive Orientation® program in 1988. It is an exclusive introduction to the South Florida community, its leaders, culture and way of life. The SEO program is offered twice a year (Fall and Spring) with six (6) sessions per cohort, offering unique immersive experiences not available to the public. Participation is limited to just 25 executives per cohort with topics determined by experienced professionals who serve on the SEO Planning Committee.

This program is for CEOs, C-Suite, and top executives new to Miami or their roles, integrating them into the community and accelerating their adaptation. Moving into a new community or assuming new executive responsibilities is challenging. Senior-level executives and their spouse or partner are invited to get to know Miami.

Topics covered include: Transportation, Economic Development, Culture & History, Real Estate, Resilience & Climate Tech, Politics, Community Involvement and Education/Workforce development.
