SUBJECT: Motions Made by the Disability Access Committee on
October 19, 2021
On October 19, 2020, the Disability Access Committee (DAC) approved the following
motion:
Motion : The members of the committee are requesting an update and projected
completion date on the installation and implementation of the accessible wayfinding
system via Bluetooth beacons and navigation app in Miami Beach Convention Center
(MBCC).
Discussions about accessible wayfinding for the Convention Center began approximately
in early 2017; by February 2018 the MBCC had awarded technology provider Smart
Cities to install bandwidth and develop the app for the beacon functionality. Later
updates provided by MBCC stated they had purchased approximately 400 beacons and
over half had been installed by late 2019.
The MBCC continues with public programming and the accessible wayfinding system
should be operational so that it provides greater access to all in the community.
