Miami Beach, FL – June 24, 2017 – The City of Miami Beach and Mayor Philip Levine had the great honor of hosting the 85th Annual United States Conference of Mayors (USCM), the largest and most significant gathering of elected officials in the nation. With nearly 300 mayors in attendance, as well as more than 1,500 elected officials, local and international leaders, and corporate executives participating, this Miami Beach gathering was the largest event in the history of the conference.
