If you thought Miami heat fades with summer, then you don’t know what’s coming next. Imagine this: The city is bustling in early November (November 5–6). Yes, the Kaseya Center—the same venue that typically hosts sporting events and concerts—is evolving into a major international hub. Now, it will be the location of the American Business Forum’s inaugural event in the United States. It will be two days packed with the kind of power and star wattage only Miami can pull off.

Now imagine the scene. On one side of the stage, you’ve got Donald Trump, back in the spotlight, flanked by Argentina’s leader Javier Milei and Venezuela’s Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Corina Machado. A stadium could be filled with the political energy alone. The story then gets more complicated when Will Smith adds some Hollywood glitz, Rafael Nadal is there to offer some advice, and Lionel Messi enters the room fresh off the field. Business titans like Ken Griffin and Jamie Dimon will also participate. So, how many are going to attend it?

More than 20,000 people will pack the room and log in from all corners of the globe. However, the prices of the tickets are also a little bit expensive, as they begin at $100 (in order to steal a front-row seat), yet they can reach $890 for people who want to get even nearer to the movers and shakers. Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, who is the president of ABF arrival, termed the occasion a watershed and presented it as a preview of the 2026 World Cup and the G20 Summit, both of which will also be hosted in the city. “This forum’s unique platform sets the event apart as the leading destination for influential voices to come together and define the global agenda,” Ignacio Gonzalez, founder of the American Business Forum, said.

The forum aims to provide networking opportunities, panel discussions, and exclusive one-on-one interviews with some of the most significant leaders of our time, like almost all CEOs of Fortune 100 companies. The goal of the conference, according to ABF founder Ignacio Gonzalez, is to “gather the world’s brightest minds in Miami” and establish a forum for influencing the global agenda. However, the location of the event adds interest. As it takes place across from the planned Trump Presidential Library, whose land transfer has been temporarily blocked by a judge.

Miami Dade College initially transferred the land to the state, which intended to transfer the land to the Trump Library, but activist Marvin Dunn sued, claiming the process had breached the Sunshine Law in Florida insofar as the people were not adequately informed. And that is not the end of the strife in that legal drama.

Rafael Nadal and celebrities bring chaos to Miami streets

Naturally, such large-scale events, in which such a star of the sporting world as Rafael Nadal is involved, are sure to create a commotion. The American Business Forum (ABF), which will bring Donald Trump, Lionel Messi, and Maria Corina Machado to Miami, is not an exception. Having tens of thousands of participants, the city is sure to be covered with roadblocks, police blocks, and access control areas as authorities seek to ensure security. Similar to the events of the past, the stakes are high in the 2025 UEFA Champions League final in Paris, where 5,400 officers patrol the streets to ensure that crowds are controlled. These measures may save the lives of the populace; however, they tend to leave locals frustrated and locked out of a city that they belong to.

Traffic congestion becomes almost certain. Remember, during the 2025 UN General Assembly in New York, 46 streets were closed. And that’s not all! It slowed down the traffic. But again, as a big event is happening, expect this same, and even in Miami, which is already busy and full of traffic, now the street might get more overloaded rideshares and overwhelmed public transit. This will make even a simple commute a test of patience. Both locals and tourists experience the thrill of seeing world-class leaders and celebrities, but they also get a firsthand look at the logistical challenges that inevitably accompany such high-profile events.
