Miami Boat Show Director Larry Berryman Recognized as Part of 'Florida 500'
Larry Berryman, Show Director of the Progressive Insurance Miami International Boat Show, was recently included in Florida Trend’s 2020 Florida 500, recognizing Florida’s most influential business leaders spanning more than 60 business categories.
Florida Trend's editorial selection of the executives for 2020’s Florida 500 was based on extensive contacts in regional business circles, hundreds of interviews and months of research, culminating in a highly selective biographical guide to the people who really run Florida.
A Miami native and avid boater and angler, Berryman oversees the Miami International Boat Show and has helped establish the show internationally. The Miami International Boat Show, an economic driver for South Florida and the boating industry, returns in 2022 on President’s Day weekend.
An FSU grad with a masters in sports administration from the University of Miami, Berryman says he is “especially proud of our continued efforts to promote conservation and education around protecting the ocean and marine environments.” Last year, the show launched the Costa Conservation Village, which enabled “local and national conservation organizations to provide attendees with education on current initiatives and encourage participation.”
Before joining the Miami show, Berryman worked in management and sales for boat shows in Tampa and Atlanta. He became director of the Miami show in 2018.
