Senior Executive Orientation®

Miami's Fast Track for Executive Relocation

What is the Senior Executive Orientation® 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 in the Spring with eight (8) sessions spread throughout four (4) months, offering unique immersive experiences not available to the public.  Each session covers a different topic, determined by the experienced professionals who serve on the SEO Planning Committee.  Possible topics include: Transportation, Economic Development, Culture & History, Real Estate, Resilience & Climate Tech, Politics, Community Involvement and Education/Workforce Development.

Who should apply?

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 spouses or partner are invited to get to know Miami.

What happens after completing the Senior Executive Orientation® Program?

Upon completion of the SEO® Program, participants will receive special invitations to participate in exclusive SEO Alumni events called SEO Connects.  These events provide alumni the opportunity to connect and network with their peers to deepen their experience and business relationships.  These events are complimentary and only available to SEO Alumni.  They typically occur 3-4 times per year.  Additionally, past participants are invited to attend SEO sessions and other special Chamber events.
