In an email sent out this morning by the organizers of the TRAFFIC conference, the Florida TRAFFIC conference will be held for the first time on a weekend, at the Fontainebleau Hotel on Miami Beach from October 30th, until, November 2nd, 2014 with cabana networking starting on the 29th.

“The Hotel is working with us to provide a program for families of all ages, so we will be encouraging everyone to bring their kids for magical Trick or Treats and other full-time activities.”
The organizers also released more information about T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Las Vegas which will be held from May 28th to May 31st at the Bellagio Hotel with the cabana networking starting on the 27th.
