Feb 28–Mar 3, 2027 | InterContinental Miami, Florida
Watch highlights from Evolve 2026, then get ready for what’s next.
Welcome to Intelligence in Motion at Evolve 2027.
Equipment dealers have more information available than ever before, but information alone doesn’t improve performance. Value shows up when the right data reaches the right employee before a customer even calls, when AI helps a manager spot what needs attention, and when service, parts, rental, sales, and finance are all working from the same view.
That’s the idea behind Evolve 2027. Join dealers, OEMs, industry associations, and VitalEdge experts in Miami to explore how people, data, and machines work together to move the dealership forward. Put intelligence to work. Keep your dealership and your customers moving.
The Venue
InterContinental Miami
Experience Miami at its best at the InterContinental Miami, a AAA Four Diamond hotel set right on the edge of Biscayne Bay in the heart of downtown. With stunning bay and city views, world-class dining from Pan-Latin flavors to rooftop cocktails, a full-service spa, and a schedule of on-property experiences ranging from culinary pop-ups to live entertainment, it’s the perfect place to stay, learn, and connect during Evolve 2027.
An Offsite Straight out of Miami Vice
Evolve doesn’t stop when the sessions end. This year, we’re taking the celebration to Regatta Grove on Miami’s waterfront for a night built to bring the Evolve community together in true 1980s Miami style. Expect neon lights, sunset bay views, and an atmosphere made for connecting with peers long after the conference agenda wraps.
What You’ll Experience Offsite:
- A waterfront venue with sunset views over Biscayne Bay
- Miami Vice-themed photo opportunities to capture the night
- A palm-lined waterfront backdrop unlike any other Evolve offsite
- Plenty of space to relax, mingle, and connect with fellow attendees
