Possible Conference Doubles Footprint, Boosts Marketer Attendance
The Possible conference, entering its fourth year and now under Hyve Group ownership, will expand its Miami footprint from the Fontainebleau Hotel to the neighboring Eden Roc Miami Beach and expects about 6,500 attendees (roughly 20% growth from 5,400 in 2025). Hyve has scaled 'meetups'—paid, paired meetings between brand marketers and solution providers—moving 3,000 sessions to a beach pavilion. Organizers emphasize increasing the share of CMOs and marketing executives onstage and in attendance, with speakers from Coca-Cola, Unilever, Hershey’s, Catalyst Brands and Crocs. MMA remains involved in driving marketer participation. Hyve frames the meetup format as valuable "gold dust" for vendors seeking buyer access.
