At a Glance
The fast read before you walk into the day.
Applied, not theoretical
The event leans hard toward practical AI engineering: builders, CTOs, VPs of AI, founders, and people actually shipping systems.
Monday is the messier day
Rain and thunderstorm risk rises after 1pm Monday. Tuesday looks cleaner, but breezier. Wednesday travel is comparatively calm.
Conference Shape
The bits that matter without turning this into a full agenda dump.
Check-in + breakfast
Low-friction arrival window. Good time to settle in, badge up, and start hallway-track conversations before the main crush.
Welcome to AI Engineer Miami
Main framing for the event. Organized by the G2i / React Miami orbit and positioned as part of Frontier Tech Week.
Dense builder crowd
Speaker roster includes OpenAI, DeepMind, Cloudflare, Baseten, Cohere, Cursor, OpenRouter, Neo4j, Cerebras, and more. Expect the hallway track to be as valuable as the talks.
Weather Pattern
NOAA point forecast, tuned to what changes your day.

- Feels better than Monday for moving around
Best travel window
Partly sunny, high near 77°F, still breezy but not storm-driven. If you're moving out Wednesday, this is the easiest-looking day in the short range.
Rip current statement
In effect from Monday afternoon into Tuesday morning. Not a conference issue unless you drift toward beach plans, but worth knowing.
Watch-outs
The stuff most likely to matter in practice.
Rain can eat your post-talk plans
Carry a light shell or tiny umbrella. If there's a dinner or off-site you care about, leave schedule slack after lunch.
Ksenia's arrival looks more wind-affected than storm-affected
Tuesday night is not the ugly-weather window, but it is breezy enough that airport-to-hotel movement may feel more annoying than dramatic.
Heat is not the story. Humidity + sun are.
Miami in April can feel deceptively mild. Sunglasses, water, and sunscreen still matter, especially if you end up walking the riverfront or across downtown.
The hallway track is probably the real edge
This event markets itself around practical operators. The best use of time is likely a mix of selective talks and intentional conversations, not wall-to-wall session attendance.
West Palm → Hotel
Because the actual wrinkle is not Miami. It's getting there cleanly from PBI.
Brightline to Miami
Brightline runs the South Florida rail corridor connecting West Palm Beach and Miami. It is the cleanest non-car move if timing lines up.
- West Palm Beach → Miami on Brightline
- Then short last-mile hop from MiamiCentral to Hyatt Regency Miami
- Cleaner than a long full-distance rideshare if the train timing works
Direct rideshare / car
If the train schedule is awkward relative to your landing, the blunt-force option is simply a direct car from PBI to the Hyatt.
- Best if you want zero transfers
- Worst if traffic or surge is ugly
- Useful when you're optimizing for low cognitive load
Once you're in downtown, the hotel is well placed
Hyatt Regency Miami sits in a good downtown position, and Metromover is the useful local mental model if you want to bounce around central Miami without overcommitting to cars.
