President Donald J. Trump will speak at the upcoming America Business Forum in Miami, Forum officials announced today. The president will join an elite roster of world leaders in sports, business, technology and culture at the Kaseya Center Nov. 5-6.
“President Trump has been one of the most consequential political and business leaders of our time,” said Miami Mayor Francis Suárez, who is president of the board of America Business Forum. “His perspective on leadership, global business, and America’s role in the world will be a defining part of this year’s Forum. We are honored to welcome him to Miami,” Suarez said in a statement.
Other prominent speakers – most of whom have ties to Miami through their businesses or through sports – include JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, Citadel founder Ken Griffin, WeWork and Flow Founder Adam Neumann, soccer superstar Lionel Messi, actor and producer Will Smith, FIFA President Gianni Infantino, Formula 1 President/CEO Stefano Domenicali, and tennis legend Rafael Nadal.
President Trump is scheduled to speak at the Forum on Nov. 5.
“Bringing together visionary leaders like President Trump with the world’s top business figures and cultural icons reflects the unique platform that America Business Forum offers,” said Ignacio Gonzalez, America Business Forum’s founder. “It is where the most influential voices come together to shape the future.”
Since its inception in 2016, America Business Forum has held its global leadership summit in the Americas, featuring influential individuals across industries, from heads of state and cultural icons to Fortune 500 executives and startup founders. This is the first time the Forum will be held in the United States. The 2025 theme is “The world meets in America.”
Hosting an event of this scale and stature signals Miami’s rising status on the global stage. While Miami regularly draws conferences in tech, art or finance, the America Business Forum takes the Magic City to another level with its emphasis on global leadership and its mix of sports icons, A-list entertainers, top-tier executives — and now the president of the United States. Trump has also announced he will host the G20 summit at his Doral golf resort in 2026.
Next month’s America Business Forum will also include exclusive events that week in Miami, including the Power 100, where America Business Forum brings together the 100 most influential leaders arriving in Miami for the forum, and the VIP Night Forum, Miami’s official closing party for over 1,000 guests.
