OLD BUSINESS – DISCUSSION ITEMS A.
TDC TOURISM PERFORMANCE METRICS 1. TDC DASHBOARD CURRENT MONTH & FY26* - Emanuel Perry a. Bed Tax Collections*
Perry
Bed Tax Collection – August 2026, collected in September, was $4.7M, compared to the same month last year at $4.7M, a 1% increase. Actual August was 5% above the Budget and (28%) below the prior month at $6.6M. Actual August was 8% higher than Fiscal Year 2024. FYTD 2026 Collections, at $103, were higher than last fiscal year to date at $93M by 10%. FYTD collections were 15% above the Approved Budget and 8% higher than 2024 collections. The Rooms sold for August were 363,340, 1% higher than last year. Rooms available for August at 591,759 are (1%) lower than last year. Hotel Rooms Active today in the county at 19,089. Occupancy for August 2026 was 61.4%, 2% higher than last year. Occupancy for August 2025 was 60.1%. August 2024 was 60.2%. The Average Daily Rate for August 2026 was $181.78, 3% higher than last year and 8% above August 2024. The Revenue/Available Room for August 2026 was $111.55, 5% higher than last year. In August, Hotel Room Net Sales FY26 year-over-year increased 4% to $64M, up from $61M. Non-hotel room sales for FY26 year-over-year in August decreased (14%) to $14M compared to $17M. Hotel room net sales FYTD 2026 increased 10% from $1.4B to $1.3B. Non-hotel Room Sales FYTD 2026 increased 6% at $300M compared to $282M. FYTD 2026 Taxable Revenues Fiscal Year over FY2025 increased 9% at $1.7B compared to $1.5B. FYTD 2026 Taxable Revenues Fiscal Year over FY2025 increased 20% to $1.7B compared to $1.4B. Airport passengers for August 2026 totaled 526,114, (10%) lower than in August 2025. The total Estimated Seat Capacity was (21%) lower than in August 2025, with 602,843 seats available. DJTI Passenger 12-month rolling is an 1% increase at 8,660,434 over last year. Leisure & Hospitality Employment for August was 93,100, a decrease of 0.6% higher from the same month last year. Hotel Employment was (0.8%) lower compared to last year, at 12,400 employees. F&B was 0.5% higher than last year at 57,700 employees. Arts & Entertainment employment is 2% higher than last year at 23,000 employees. I’m proud to announce that for the first time in our 45-year history, we’ve surpassed $100M in revenue. We brought in $103M for the fiscal year. That’s a collective achievement of this board, our staff, and our partner agencies, and I thank everyone. It deserves a round of applause. 3
I also have another update. Last week, thanks to our mayor’s leadership and our county administrator’s championing, the Board of County Commissioners approved our second hotel. Few destinations see two hotels approved within ten years. I want to thank Milton, Dave, and my counterpart Jennifer in Facilities. It was all hands-on deck, and this team got it across the finish line. Mayor Baxter For those who don’t know, our county administrator negotiated incredibly hard, and the deal we got is unprecedented for a convention hotel. Surrounding counties have been giving developers millions of dollars to build theirs. Our amazing community partners are bringing us a second hotel, and instead of giving them money, we’re purchasing the property and leasing it back to them. The media often pulls the smallest quote from my remarks, but this time I’ll stand by it: this was a no-brainer. For $21 million, after the $5 million difference, we’re getting an asset worth $349 million. I want to thank everyone who made it happen. Anderson Since the decision was made, I’ve heard from people all over the country asking to connect and learn how the deal works. They can’t believe we secured two hotels in ten years, or how the deal is structured. The attention was tremendous. B.
DJTI UPDATE* – Andrew Gamboa
Gamboa In August, total passengers were down 9.8% year over year. Seat capacity was down about 21%, to roughly 600,000 seats. Air carrier operations fell 19% to 3,792, while general aviation grew 11.5% to about 6,000 operations. Total operations were down 2.6%. Our passenger decline was smaller than our capacity decline because August was soft across many markets. At a roundtable last week with airlines and airports, I heard the same about Las Vegas and Savannah, among others. For context, Fort Lauderdale was down 5.8%, Tampa 6.3%, Miami 5.7%, and Orlando 7%. Fuel prices are a big part of this. Airlines are trimming capacity across their systems, and American just canceled or suspended nine routes nationwide. On a rolling 12-month basis, we peaked in June at 8.7M passengers, our post-COVID record. With August included, that figure dips slightly to 8.66M. New Service It’s not all bad news. Breeze Airways will fly seasonally to Greenville-Spartanburg, South Carolina, twice weekly on Mondays and Fridays. Service begins December 18 and runs through May 3, 2027. The aircraft will leave Palm Beach around 4:45 p.m. and arrive in Greenville-Spartanburg around 6:45 p.m. After a quick turn, it departs around 7:25 p.m. and lands back here around 9:30 p.m. Breeze will base an aircraft here for the winter, so stay tuned for more. Greenville-Spartanburg joins Atlantic City and Columbus as Breeze’s newest destinations from Palm Beach.

Coming up, we’re excited about United’s San Francisco service next month. Also in November, Southwest begins Denver service, and Delta begins with Los Angeles service. Mayor Baxter Have you heard of any airline customer service or staffing problems, and is that affecting people’s willingness to travel? Gamboa Airline schedule changes have disrupted staffing resources, including pilots, crews, and airport personnel. The industry remains highly competitive, with some Sun Country pilots leaving following its merger with Allegiant to join carriers such as United and Delta. Recent weather systems, particularly across the Midwest and Northeast, have also contributed to cancellations and delays. As fall cold fronts arrive, some disruptions are expected, but nothing unusual compared with previous years. Commissioner Fox You mentioned fewer passengers in August 2026, yet hotel room numbers were higher than last year. Could this be due to more people driving instead of flying? Gamboa Yes, most likely. Other airports and DMOs are reporting similar trends: passenger traffic is declining or leveling off, while hotel room numbers remain steady or increase, likely due to more people driving. Higher fuel costs, increased airfares, and Spirit’s exit from the market have made travelers more price sensitive. Even if fuel prices decline, airfares may remain elevated as airlines recover lost revenue. This is likely to contribute to the increase in driving tourism. 6.
NEW BUSINESS – DISCUSSION ITEMS A. ERM 1. Update – Deb Drum Drum Two quick announcements: First, we invite you to the 13th Annual Lagoon Fest, in partnership with Discover The Palm Beaches, on Saturday, October 31, from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., along the West Palm Beach waterfront. The festival features more than 100 environmental organizations, family-friendly activities, wildlife displays, and free boat tours highlighting the lagoon and shoreline restoration projects. We hope you can join us! Second, after nearly three years of delays, new artificial reefs were deployed offshore near Palm Beach Inlet in 40–80 feet of water. Installations include a memorial statue, the King Neptune sculpture, and three habitat modules. Over time, marine life and coral will transform these structures. Palm Beach County’s artificial reefs are a major dive tourism attraction, with each reef generating an estimated $250,000 in annual economic activity. B. MOTION TO APPROVE FY2027 CULTURAL COUNCIL MARKETING PLAN – Dave Lawrence 1. Executive Summary 5
2. 3.
Marketing Plan Vendor Spending
Lawrence We’re grateful to the Board of County Commissioners and Vice Mayor Woodward for recognizing October as National Arts and Humanities Month. We were honored to attend Tuesday’s proclamation and celebrate the occasion. The Cultural Council supports professional artists and cultural organizations through professional development, capacity building, advocacy, grant funding, and cultural tourism promotion. As a TDC sister agency, much of our work focuses on administering grants and supporting initiatives that attract visitors to The Palm Beaches. We’re fortunate to have an exceptional cultural community, from the Kravis Center and Norton Museum of Art to the Flagler Museum, local theaters, and science institutions. Several exciting developments are underway, including the Society of the Four Arts’ $250 million campus renovation and the Cox Science Center and Aquarium’s major expansion, both expected to be completed around the end of 2027. Kravis Center’s new Kravis Hall has also opened, offering a spectacular waterfront venue for performances and events. With major exhibitions and outstanding seasons planned across our cultural institutions, this is truly an exciting time for arts and culture in Palm Beach County. Lauren Perry, Dave Lawrence, and Jennifer Sullivan went through the attached Cultural Council’s Marketing Plan PowerPoint presentation. Motion to approve by Mabel Melton and seconded by Daniel Hostettler. Motion carried 7-0 with Jim Mostad and Mayor Tom Carney absent. C. MOTION TO APPROVE FY2027 SPORTS COMMISSION MARKETING PLAN – George Linley 1. Executive Summary 2. Marketing Plan 3. Vendor Spending Linley Our FY2027 strategy is to expand sports tourism and sustain double-digit growth in room nights and visitor spending. Last fiscal year, the Sports Commission surpassed 500,000 room nights, reaching nearly 514,000—an 11% year-over-year increase and 25% growth over three years. We’re optimistic about continued growth. Our business-to-business strategy focuses on recruiting, hosting, retaining, and supporting sporting events that generate tourism. Last year, we hosted 251 events across 42 sports, leveraging our diverse venues and facilities. Youth sports remain a major priority, representing two-thirds of our amateur events. These events generate significant economic impact and help drive visitation during the summer months, when our hospitality industry needs it most. Looking ahead to 2027 and 2028, we’re focused on bringing the Olympic spirit to Palm Beach County by pursuing Olympic training camps, qualifiers, and trials. We’re already 6
working with national governing bodies and international federations, with one Olympic trial secured for January 2027. Finally, our strong partnership with the Florida Sports Foundation remains essential. Florida ranks second nationally in sports tourism economic impact, and Palm Beach County was recognized as one of the state’s four leading sports destinations. We’re proud to contribute to Florida’s success and will continue strengthening these partnerships to grow our sports tourism economy. James Taylor and Scott Glisky continue to go through the Sports Commission Marketing PowerPoint Presentation. Dufresne I’d like to emphasize four points. First, youth sports are highly resilient during economic downturns, as families often prioritize travel sports over other entertainment expenses. Second, sports tourism serves as a gateway to broader tourism. Visitors who come for a tournament or event may discover Palm Beach County and return for future vacations, benefits that extend beyond what the Sports Commission can directly measure. Third, facilities are essential. More and better sports infrastructure creates greater opportunities to attract events and generate local economic benefits. Finally, just as the equestrian industry has flourished here, I would love to see a racetrack return to Palm Beach County, bringing motor sports, specialized jobs, investment, and related businesses back to our community. Motion to approve the FY2027 Sports Commission Marketing Plan was made by Daniel Hostettler and seconded by Mabel Melton. Motion carried 7-0 with Jim Mostad and Mayor Tom Carney absent. D. DISCOVER THE PALM BEACHES 1. MOTION TO APPROVE 5-YEAR AGREEMENT WITH WELLCOMING, LLC in the amount of $2.5M – Milton Segarra 2. Update – Milton Segarra Segarra Palm Beach County continues to earn national recognition. In the 2026 Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards, The Breakers ranked No. 1, The Colony No. 5, and The Brazilian Court No. 10 among the best U.S. hotels in our region. Four local resorts also ranked among the nation’s top 12. Meetings Today recognized Discover The Palm Beaches as one of the South’s top DMOs. Additionally, several local properties earned prestigious Michelin Keys, including The Breakers, which received two. Finally, we’re conducting an RFP to select a CRM system for Discover The Palm Beaches. As required by our agreement with the County, the selection committee must include a representative from this Board. Since Jim Mostad is unavailable, we request the Board’s ratification of Elena to serve in his place. 7
Mayor Baxter Was anyone else asked? I just want to ensure we’re following a fair and transparent process. Segarra No, but you’re welcome to do so. We initially considered Jim because, as a hotelier, his experience aligns well with CRM, which supports sales and marketing operations. However, the decision is entirely yours, Madam Mayor. Mayor Baxter I would have preferred to see this item noticed in advance so Board members could consider the opportunity and express their interest. Bringing it forward at the last minute feels like a take-it-or-leave-it decision. I don’t appreciate that approach at the Commission, and I don’t think it’s appropriate here either. Giving members advance notice ensures everyone has a fair opportunity to volunteer, including those who might hesitate to speak up for fear of offending someone. I believe in speaking openly, and I think we should allow that opportunity for everyone. I appreciate your willingness to serve, and thank you. My point is simply that providing advance notice would have allowed all Board members to express interest. With that in mind, is anyone else interested in serving on the CRM selection committee? I believe advance notice would have given other Board members a fair opportunity to express interest. That said, I’m perfectly comfortable with Elena serving, and I think she would do an excellent job. Segarra Just one quick clarification: this is not a last-minute decision. Emails involving Emanuel, Elena, and Mr. Mostad have been circulating, and this has been under discussion for several weeks. Mayor Baxter But what about the rest of the board? Segarra My job was to communicate with Emanuel. And I did. Mayor Baxter Elena is certainly qualified and willing to serve, and I have no concerns with her appointment. However, going forward, I believe it would be prudent to offer these opportunities to the entire Board so that all members who are willing and able to serve have a fair chance to participate. Motion to ratify the appointment of Elena Peroulakis to serve on the CRM selection committee for Discover The Palm Beaches was made by Mabel Melton and seconded by Daniel Hostettler.
Motion carried 7-0 with Jim Mostad and Mayor Tom Carney absent. Segarra 8
As part of our plan, we remain focused on technology, organizational sustainability, and decentralizing operations. I’m also pleased to announce Heather Andrews’ promotion to Senior Vice President of Commercial Strategy. For the first six months, visitation grew 3.3% overall, reaching nearly 6.1 million visitors, a 6.4% increase. Our key feeder markets grew, with Houston and Dallas posting doubledigit gains. International visitation also increased, particularly from Canada, up 13%— making us the only Florida destination reporting Canadian market growth. These results put us on track to welcome more than 11 million visitors this fiscal year. Gustav Weibull went through the attached Discover The Palm Beaches Update Power Point Presentation. Cavers One of our Tourism Master Plan priorities is securing transformational events that generate significant economic impact during key periods. Three years ago, with strong community support, we partnered with Eudemonia, an event with a proven track record alongside festivals such as Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits. Eudemonia has grown from 2,500 attendees in its first year to 5,000 last year, selling out, and expects 10,000 or more this year. The event has increased hotel occupancy, room rates, and revenue, engaging more than 15 hotels. This year’s four-day program will feature 15 venues, 120 speakers, 100 brands, 200 talks, and 300 treatments, opening with Tom Brady as keynote speaker. We invite everyone to participate. This success reflects collaboration among Discover The Palm Beaches, the City of West Palm Beach, and our cultural, sports, film, and community partners. We’re requesting approval to pursue a five-year renewal, maintaining our current $500,000 annual investment: $300,000 to offset venue costs and $200,000 for marketing. The partnership includes destination branding, promotional opportunities, community involvement, and business-focused programming. Attendance is projected to grow to 12,000 in 2027 and 20,000 by 2031, generating more than $45 million in economic impact. Annual renewal will remain contingent on meeting performance metrics and securing key local venues. Dufresne Just to clarify, the $500,000 investment is an annual commitment, correct? Cavers It's annual, yes. Correct. The same as we're doing right now. Dufresne We’re generating 3,700 room nights at an average rate of $135 per night. Cavers It's contracted room nights. And it takes 17 hotels to get there. It's much greater than that. Dufresne
If we assume 10,000 room nights, that works out to $50 per room night based on a $500,000 investment, correct? 9
Cavers And it goes right back to offset the cost of. Dufresne I think they should have calculated those a bit better. I'd feel better about it. Thompson Year one and year two were $500,000 as well. Cavers
The $500,000 investment has historically been split equally between venue costs and marketing. However, Eudaimonia is reaching capacity and needs additional venues, including the Meyer Amphitheatre and Nora, to continue growing in Palm Beach County. Other destinations are competing for this business, so expanding our venue options is critical to retaining the event and its economic benefits. Dufresne What level of access will the Board have to the Tom Brady event? Cavers You are all invited. Motion to approve Five-Year Agreement with Wellcoming, LLC.

Update – Michelle Hillery Hillery We’ve seen a surge in celebrity and production activity across The Palm Beaches, featuring names such as Coco Gauff, the Kelce brothers, professional pickleball player Anna Leigh Waters, skateboarder Jamie Foy, Montel Williams with Military Makeover, and Serena Williams, just to name a few. Production companies from California, South Carolina, New York, Missouri, Texas, Miami, Philadelphia, and the United Kingdom have filmed commercials for brands including CBS, Bose, Naked Smoothies, Garage Beer, Ora, and Red Bull. Filming locations include Wellington, West Palm Beach, Ocean Ridge, Delray Beach, Boca Raton, Palm Beach Gardens, and Jupiter. Business remains brisk as we continue facilitating permits for production throughout Palm Beach County. We’re also supporting the federal incentive program introduced by the President of the United States while continuing to strengthen our own local incentive program here in The Palm Beaches. F. CONVENTION CENTER 1. OVG Venue Management a. Update - Dave Anderson 10
Anderson September wrapped up with the Nurses Conference and Governors Conference, and the new fiscal year began with the 20th Annual County Matchmakers Conference, connecting small businesses with major corporations to support business growth. October is packed with events, including a car show, pickleball, a textile showcase featuring products from Uzbekistan, a librarians’ conference, and Eudaimonia later this month. A special thank-you to the County Administrator, Mayor, and Commissioners for approving the second hotel. The decision has already generated interest from across the country, and having two hotels within ten years is nearly unprecedented in our industry. We also received recognition from Discover for being among the best Convention Centers, a testament to our entire team’s hard work. Ultimately, our success comes from the complete visitor experience—not just a Convention Center and hotels, but also strong air service, our airport, downtown culture, sports, and restaurants. That combination is what sets The Palm Beaches apart. Abruzzo The real secret to getting this deal done was the Board of County Commissioners’ direction to keep pushing for better terms. Related Ross initially presented a deal very similar to the first hotel agreement, but the Board encouraged us to keep negotiating and secure a better deal. Without that direction, this would not have happened. I also want to apologize if I arrive late at Board meetings. We have in-person department head meetings at 8:00 a.m. with representatives from more than 30 departments, which sometimes affects my arrival time. Mayor Baxter I think you were alluding to this, but ultimately, it takes skill to bring the Board a deal that meets its expectations. Getting seven different perspectives aligned and negotiating such an outstanding agreement is no small feat. I truly appreciate your leadership and hard work in guiding these negotiations on behalf of the Board. Thank you for the job exceptionally well done. Anderson You all did the heavy lifting, and we truly appreciate it. The Convention Center’s and existing hotel’s strong performance also helped make the second hotel possible. Ultimately, our success comes from the complete package: an outstanding sales team, a strong partnership with Discover The Palm Beaches, and an exceptional visitor experience. Having traveled to destinations across the country, I can say that what we offer here is truly hard to beat. Thank you all for the role you’ve played in making this happen. 2. OVG Hospitality b. Update - Kathy Griffin Griffin 11
As we wrap up the fiscal year and finalize the numbers, we expect to report to Emanuel next week. Preliminary results indicate we’re exceeding our profit target by approximately $1 million—a fantastic way to close out the year! Segarra Does anyone have an update or feedback regarding the recent lawsuits involving the Convention Center and its neighbors? I understand the City of West Palm Beach may be involved, but I’m not sure whether our legal team has any updates. Abruzzo We anticipate that the County may eventually be served. From my experience as Clerk of Court, if that happens, the cases would generally be consolidated into one. Administration and the County Attorney’s Office feel confident about our position. If the County is named, we’ll address the matter through the legal process and proceed from there. 7.

Item 4B - Page 2
HIGHLIGHTS The following sections highlight the Cultural Council’s activities (organized by department) during October 2026, in relation to Objectives and Tactics detailed in our FY27 Cultural Tourism Marketing Plan.
MARKETING •
Cultural Tourism & Co-op Advertising – In FY27, the cultural tourism advertising campaign (“So Much Culture, So Little Time”) will primarily be utilized in strategic coop advertising insertions. The campaign will also support other tactics that will be noted below throughout the fiscal year, from swag to print collateral. In October, coop advertising appeared in both digital (Meta) and OOH (DJT baggage claim) channels. Advertising to support the Council’s own cultural programs appeared in several in-county print publications (The Coastal Star, Florida Weekly, Lake Worth Playhouse playbill) as well as Florida Weekly’s digital network, targeting both residents and visitors alike.
•
Art Basel Miami Beach “Go Beyond Basel” - Agency of record, Push, worked with the Council on the FY27 campaign concept and development of creative assets in October, with a planned campaign launch in early November. Messaging will appear in both English and Spanish, with OOH placements focused on transportation networks (Brightline, Ride Circuit) and highly trafficked pedestrian areas (Ike City Kiosks) near the Miami Beach Convention Center and Miami Art Week extension locations. Digital insertions will utilize geo-targeting strategies. This year’s co-op partners are the Morikami Museum & Japanese Gardens and the Boca Raton Museum of Art. Other featured cultural organizations will be the Norton Museum of Art, Ann Norton Sculpture Garden, and The Artwork of Reuben Hale. The landing page (palmbeachculture.com/beyond) includes itinerary building tools and encourages email signups as well as referrals to cultural organizations. An onsite activation is being explored.
•
Black Cultural Heritage Trail - Paid advertising for the Trail is on pause in Q1FY27 while the Council works to develop a mobile app with the selected vendor. Print collateral and other marketing assets continue to be distributed to community partners and Visitor Information Centers.
•
MOSAIC & Palm Beach County Open Studios - Palm Beach County-based artist Arlet Gomez was chosen in late FY26 to create the MOSAIC 2027 artwork. She is currently working to transition her concept into a final work, which is due at the end of November. Push and the Council plan to kickoff campaign planning in November.
•
Collaborations & Sponsorships: • The Council was a sponsor for the following programs and events in October: Nonprofits First Hats Off Awards, Lagoonfest. • An agreement was finalized to sponsor the 2027 Art Palm Beach fine art fair in support of a special exhibition celebrating Palm Beach County-based artist Bruce Helander. • Palm Beach County-based artist Ashlee Breyan completed the official poster artwork for the 2027 National Battle of the Bands event as part of the Council’s collaboration with the Sports Commission. Item 4B - Page 3
HIGHLIGHTS •
Specialty Publications – The Council’s 2026-2027 Season Guide announcing its own exhibitions, programs, and special events was published in October, in addition to the 20th anniversary issue of art&culture magazine. A reprint of the special visitors guide Arts & Wellness in The Palm Beaches was ordered to support the early November Eudemonia conference at the convention center.
•
Cultural Activations – A solo “Dancing Ballerina Umbrella” made its public debut on October 28 at the Orlando Brightline station in support of a media mission (details below). Production of the new television series collab with the Film Commission (“Art Bros”) is underway, and the Council also began exploring food festival opportunities in Atlanta and Houston with Push and Discover The Palm Beaches in order to secure its “Taste of Culture” activation in late summer 2027.
•
Digital Marketing & Communications Platforms: • Website: The Council’s Insider Access blog was updated in October with a new piece highlighting multi-generational travel to The Palm Beaches by writer Marianna Frances. Newly-updated digital editions of the Council’s Guide to Exploring Florida’s Cultural Capital®, art&culture magazine, and the 20262027 Season Guide were published to the site. The Council’s online events calendar hit a new monthly record in October for number of events published (423), and its artist directory also hit a new record of artists registered (831). Procurement ended for a new FY27 accessibility provider and the chosen vendor, AudioEye, will start its contract in November. Procurement for a digital partner for the website’s AEO (answer engine optimization) enhancement also kicked off in October. • Social Media: Facebook and Instagram content actively promoted cultural attractions, exhibitions, performances and festivals and activated artists as cultural ambassadors through a mix of original content (short-form video and graphics) and shared content from cultural partners. In October, a weekly series created by the Council promoted 31 ways to celebrate Arts & Humanities Month throughout The Palm Beaches. Other content highlighted Halloween celebrations and Bright Ideas Sponsorship recipients. LinkedIn content was curated to reach professional audiences with advocacy messaging around Amendment 3 and also promoted the Council’s professional development programs. • Email Newsletters: Tourism-focused email newsletters delivered curated recommendations on things to do, with links to the aforementioned content on our website.
•
Public Relations – The Council continues to work closely with Discover The Palm Beaches in FY27 to support earned media goals. The Council originated three press releases – two highlighting its own exhibitions and one announcing the recipients of its 2026-2027 Arts Administrators Fellowships. A media alert was distributed about the County’s proclamation naming October as Arts & Humanities Month. A regional influencer was contracted to produce a series of reels on multigenerational travel itineraries, which were repurposed into a blog. On October 28, the Council attended Discover’s media mission at the Brightline station in Orlando, securing a paid performance for a Palm Beach County-based saxophonist who entertained guests. Item 4B - Page 4
HIGHLIGHTS The media mission resulted in a number of new media relationships and inquiries about Florida’s Cultural Capital®.

Sports-Development Sports Development Executive Summary The Palm Beach County Sports Commission (PBCSC) is deploying an aggressive sales and sports development effort to increase the number of sports tourisms generating events taking place in The Palm Beaches. The PBCSC continues to cultivate relationships with event owners, as well as identify, solicit, secure, and retain sports events to grow room night actualization. Below is a recap of sports development efforts that have taken place during FY26.
Event Bids & Development A primary mechanism for event solicitation is through the Event Bid and Development process. To recognize potential bid opportunities, the PBCSC will be at the forefront of the industry and engage with event owners. Bid submission is a highly effective tool to recruit sporting events. Attached is a comprehensive list of the bids that have been submitted for FY 27 and beyond, and below is a breakdown of the development efforts over the past month: •

Event Site Visits When trying to bring events to Palm Beach County, engaging event rights holders to conduct a site visit or familiarization tour is one of the most beneficial event development strategies. Site visits allow an event owner to explore potential sports venues while experiencing Palm Beach County’s tourism assets, such as hotels, restaurants, and attractions. Attached is a comprehensive list of the site visits that have been conducted in FY 27, and below is a breakdown of site visits conducted over the past month: •
October 25th, 2026 – USA Hockey– 2028 USA Hockey National Championships - Palm Beach Gardens Iceplex 2026 TEAMS Conference + Expo
There is no better platform to connect with event owners, strengthen industry relationships, and highlight everything Palm Beach County has to offer as a sports destination than the world's largest sports conference. This year’s TEAMS Conference + Expo was held in Birmingham, Alabama, from October 26–30, 2026. Director of Operations Jared Fleet, Director of Sports Development James Taylor, and Development Coordinator William Quatromoni represented the Palm Beach County Sports Commission (PBCSC) at the event. TEAMS (Travel, Events and Management in Sports) is the world’s leading conference and expo for the sports event industry. It attracts more than 1,000 attendees, including CEOs, executive directors, and event managers from sports organizations, as well as representatives from sports commissions and convention bureaus, corporate sponsors, event suppliers, and other hospitality industry leaders. Its primary purpose is to connect sports-event owners and organizers with potential host destinations, sports commissions, convention and visitor’s bureaus, hotels, venues, and sponsors through one-on-one appointments, educational sessions, and networking opportunities. As a team, we met with 38 event owners through scheduled appointments over two days. We established new relationships with event organizers and pitched Palm Beach County as the ideal sports destination for their events. For example, we met with Marubian Affinii from Brat Corps, Kelsey Gislason from the U.S. Figure Skating, and many others. We also strengthened our relationships with event owners we are currently working with, such as Michelle Dix from the World Wake Association and Justin Travis from USA BMX. Additionally, our team attended multiple breakout sessions on a variety of topics, including Simplifying the Bid: Rights Holders + Destinations, and updates from multiple Olympic and Paralympic national governing bodies. Through our participation at the TEAMS Conference + Expo, the Palm Beach County Sports Commission continues to strengthen its presence within the sports tourism industry. The connections made and insights gained will help us attract new events, enhance existing partnerships, and drive economic impact for our community. Our team looks forward to applying what we learned and welcoming even more premier sporting events to Palm Beach County in the years ahead.
Through scheduled appointments, networking opportunities, and educational sessions, the conference allows the Sports Commission to promote Palm Beach County's venues, build long-term industry relationships, recruit events that generate hotel room nights and visitor spending, and stay informed on emerging trends that strengthen the county's competitiveness in the sports tourism industry.
MADE Hoops Florida Preview In FY26, the Palm Beach County Sports Commission welcomed a new basketball organization to Palm Beach County, MADE Hoops, which brought a series of four (4) basketball tournaments to the Wellington Sports Academy (WSA). Across the four tournaments, MADE Hoops generated a combined 1,150 new hotel room nights, establishing an immediate presence in Palm Beach County's growing basketball market. Following the success of these inaugural tournaments, MADE Hoops committed to bringing an additional two (2) events to Wellington Sports Academy in FY27. The first of these FY27 events, the MADE Hoops Florida Preview, took place October 24–25, 2026, at Wellington Sports Academy. While the Sports Commission awaits the official post-event report, the tournament was projected to attract 84 teams and approximately 1,000 players and coaches from across the United States. The event was also projected to generate approximately 500 new hotel room nights over the tournament weekend. The continued growth of MADE Hoops in Palm Beach County demonstrates the destination's ability to attract established youth basketball organizations and accommodate tournaments that bring traveling teams, coaches, and families to the area. At the TEAMS Conference & Expo in Birmingham, Alabama, the Palm Beach County Sports Commission met with three (3) representatives from MADE Hoops to discuss the organization's previous tournaments at Wellington Sports Academy and explore opportunities to expand its event schedule throughout Palm Beach County. A significant part of the discussion focused on the newly developed Palm Beach Gardens Indoor Fieldhouse, which is expected to be fully operational in January 2027. With the addition of this facility, the Sports Commission can present MADE Hoops with expanded venue options and the opportunity to accommodate additional tournaments that may require multiple facilities or increased court capacity. Additionally, the possibility of utilizing both Wellington Sports Academy and the Palm Beach Gardens Indoor Fieldhouse to attract additional MADE Hoops tournaments, including the potential to host a national championship event. Having two indoor basketball venues available would provide greater flexibility for event operations, increase the number of teams that can be accommodated, and strengthen Palm Beach County's ability to compete for larger-scale basketball events. MADE Hoops directly supports the Sports Commission's business development objectives by expanding Palm Beach County's presence in the youth basketball market, attracting out-of-county participants, and generating hotel room nights and visitor spending.

Winter Equestrian Festival Generates Record $607.3 Million in Economic Impact for Palm Beach County
WEST PALM BEACH, FL – October 8, 2026 – The 2026 Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF) generated $607.3 million in economic impact for Palm Beach County, according to a newly completed economic impact analysis commissioned by the Palm Beach County Sports Commission. The figure represents a 13% increase over 2025 and brings the event's three-year cumulative economic impact to more than $1.5 billion. Held annually at Wellington International, the 13-week Winter Equestrian Festival is the largest and longest-running hunter/jumper horse show in the world. The event attracts riders, trainers, owners, support personnel, and spectators from across the United States and abroad, generating significant economic activity throughout Palm Beach County. According to the study, WEF visitors generated $362.8 million in direct spending, supporting 5,586 jobs, and producing $174.9 million in labor income throughout the local economy. "The Winter Equestrian Festival's record-breaking $607.3 million economic impact is a testament to the event's extraordinary influence on Palm Beach County," said George Linley, Chief Executive Officer of the Palm Beach County Sports Commission. "Few sporting events generate this level of sustained economic activity over such an extended period. WEF attracts participants and visitors from around the globe, bolsters local businesses, supports thousands of jobs, and further strengthens Palm Beach County's position as one of the world's leading sports and equestrian destinations."

Horse-related expenditures remained the primary driver of economic activity during the festival. Nonresident participants spent $230.7 million on horse care and competition-related expenses, including boarding, feed, training, transportation, veterinary services, equipment, and other equestrian-related needs. Those expenditures generated a total economic impact of $379.3 million, supported 3,583 jobs, and produced $110.2 million in labor earnings. The study also found that: • WEF participants and spectators generated 172,899 paid hotel room nights for Palm Beach County. • Nonresident participants stayed an average of 61 nights during the festival. • Average weekly spending per horse increased from $3,860 in 2025 to $4,381 in 2026. • Direct horse-related spending increased 12.3% year-over-year, rising from $205.4 million in 2025 to $230.7 million in 2026. • Approximately 96% of spectators rated their WEF experience as "Enjoyable" or "Very Enjoyable." • The average participant travel party consisted of 2.54 people. Visitor spending outside the competition venue also played a significant role in the festival's impact. Nonresident participants spent $66.3 million on lodging, dining, shopping, entertainment, transportation, and other tourism-related expenses across Palm Beach County. “Over the past three years, the Winter Equestrian Festival has contributed more than $1.5 billion to Palm Beach County’s GDP, demonstrating that WEF is not only an internationally recognized sporting event but also a proven economic powerhouse for our region,” said Michael Stone, President of Wellington International. “For 13 weeks each year, we welcome athletes, their support teams, and visitors from around the world, generating sustained demand for local businesses and supporting thousands of jobs. We take that responsibility seriously. These findings illustrate the farreaching value of international equestrian sport and reinforce our commitment to strengthening the local economy while maintaining Wellington’s position as a premier global equestrian destination.” The Winter Equestrian Festival's 2026 economic impact exceeded several other major sporting events held in South Florida, underscoring its importance as a cornerstone event within Palm Beach County's sports tourism portfolio. The economic impact study was conducted on behalf of the Palm Beach County Sports Commission through participant and spectator surveys collected during the 2026 Winter Equestrian Festival season. Findings help measure the event's contribution to the county's economy and support ongoing efforts to attract, retain, and grow major sporting events in Palm Beach County. Each year, participants and visitors are encouraged to fill out the Economic Impact Questionnaire and are rewarded with prizes and experiences. This information is vital to understanding the Winter Equestrian Festival’s impact on Palm Beach County. To read the full report, click here.

Matches will start at 1:30 p.m. ET both Saturday and Sunday. Saturday’s schedule will feature two singles matches between each country’s top two nominated players. Sunday’s schedule will feature a doubles match, then two more singles matches to decide the tie. The first nation between the USA and Hungary to win three out of those five matches wins the Playoff, with an amended Sunday schedule possible if either nation clinches victory in the third or fourth match of the weekend. Tennis Channel will carry coverage in the U.S. Captains may make up to three changes to their nominated rosters by November 20. The U.S. is captained by International Tennis Hall of Famer and U.S. Billie Jean Cup legend Lindsay Davenport, who captained the American side to the BJK Cup final in 2025. Hungary is captained by Kornel Bardoczky. Gauff, 22, led the U.S. Billie Jean King Cup team to a 4-0 sweep of Austria the last time the U.S. women played in her native Delray Beach, in 2023. Since then, she’s won both the US Open and French Open titles and has gone 47-15 in singles this year, including semifinal appearances at both the US Open and Wimbledon. Keys, 31, is coming off a year in which she won her 11th career WTA title and went 35-15 in singles. The 2025 Australian Open singles champion has represented the U.S. in the Billie Jean King Cup eight times since debuting in 2014. This would mark her competitive debut at the Delray Beach Tennis Center. Li, 26, is ranked a career-high No. 25 in singles on the heels of beating Aryna Sabalenka to reach the W1000 quarterfinals in Wuhan, China, last week. A Philadelphia-area native, Li won her second career WTA singles title last year on hard courts in Guangzhou before breaking into the Top 30 for the first time this year. This is her debut Billie Jean King Cup nomination. Townsend, 30, is ranked No. 2 in doubles and has a 39-4 doubles record in 2026. This year, she also completed the doubles Career Grand Slam by winning the French Open and US Open. Townsend is 6-2 all-time in Billie Jean King Cup competition since debuting in 2015. Melichar-Martinez, 33, is ranked No. 9 in doubles and has won two of her 20 career doubles titles in 2026. She represented the U.S. in its Billie Jean King Cup Qualifying competition earlier this year in Belgium and won, partnering with Caty McNally. Delray Beach has historically provided a veritable home-court advantage for the USA in international team tennis competition. The U.S. Billie Jean King Cup team is 4-0 all-time when competing at the Delray Beach Tennis Center, the last such victory coming in 2023, when Gauff and Jessica Pegula led a sweep of Austria in front of near sell-out crowds. Billie Jean King Cup and Davis Cup events have also been a boon to their host communities. Delray Beach hosted a Davis Cup qualifying competition between the U.S. and Czechia last September, which generated more than $2 million for the local economy.

MLB, HBCU legend earns medal from FL Gov. Ron Desantis
Major League Baseball and Florida A&M University legend Andre Dawson was awarded the Florida Governor's Medal of Freedom by Governor Ron DeSantis, becoming the first athlete to receive the honor. The only other sports figure previously recognized was former Florida State head football coach Bobby Bowden, who received the award in 2021. Surrounded by a large contingent of FAMU Rattlers, Dawson accepted the recognition as DeSantis recalled watching the Hall of Famer play for the Chicago Cubs. "I was primarily a Braves fan, but the thing is, I watched a lot of Cubs because the Cubs played in the day most of the time," DeSantis said. "I don’t even know if Wrigley (Field) had lights at the time. Andre’s first year, he won the NLMVP and I mean, you look at the numbers, ridiculous numbers, but the thing about it is, and you know, the Cubs were lovable, but they were lovable losers, right?" he joked. Dawson earned National League Most Valuable Player honors while playing for a last-place Cubs team, a testament to his exceptional individual performance. An eight-time Gold Glove winner, he endeared himself to fans through his outstanding play and sustained excellence throughout his career. Beyond his accomplishments on the field, Dawson has maintained strong ties to Florida and continues to play a prominent role in the baseball community. In Palm Beach County, the Palm Beach County Sports Commission has honored Dawson during major baseball events at CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches, where he has participated in ceremonial first-pitch celebrations and special appearances. His involvement has included internationally significant competitions such as the WBSC Baseball Americas Qualifier and World Comes to the Palm Beaches, helping elevate the profile of Palm Beach County as a premier destination for baseball. Usually comfortable expressing himself, Dawson appeared deeply moved by the recognition. "This is, you know, this is phenomenal. I can’t express enough how grateful, how gratifying it is," Dawson said. "As the governor mentioned, it’s been a journey, and you can’t make that journey alone. I have basically tried to live by the standards instilled in me by my grandmother, who was perhaps my most inspiring person. She told me to get on your

knees, pray, be thankful of your blessings, be thankful before you even receive your blessings, and she was always an advocate of education." The FAMU delegation included President Marva B. Johnson, J.D.; Vice President and Director of Athletics John Davis; head baseball coach Jamey Shouppe; head softball coach Brittaney Beal; head men’s basketball coach Charlie Ward; head women’s basketball coach Bridgette Gordon; and FAMU Sports Hall of Fame Chairman Marvin Green Jr. University administrators, athletics staff, student-athletes and supporters also attended. Angela Suggs, special assistant to the president, helped coordinate much of the occasion. Johnson praised Dawson for bringing distinction to his HBCU through his accomplishments and the example he continues to set for its students. "You are the first FAMU rattler to be enshrined in Cooperstown, and we are incredibly proud of you," Johnson said. "Your story is more than a story about statistics. Talent opened the door for you, sir. Discipline, character, and commitment carried you to the top of the game, and that is the example that our students have the honor of following every day." Dawson's recognition followed a recent return to Tallahassee for the FAMU Sports Hall of Fame's 50th Enshrinement celebration. His connection to the university has remained strong throughout his MLB career and beyond. He continues to credit FAMU and legendary baseball coach Costa “Pop” Kittles for believing in him and offering him an opportunity after a knee injury during his senior year of high school caused other schools to back away. Dawson's commitment to advancing baseball opportunities for Historically Black Colleges and Universities also remains evident through the Andre Dawson Classic, Major League Baseball's premier HBCU baseball tournament. The event reflects the same dedication to education, opportunity, and athletic excellence that has defined Dawson's career and contributed to his historic recognition as the first professional athlete to receive the Florida Governor's Medal of Freedom. For Palm Beach County, Dawson's continued involvement in local and international baseball events serves as a reminder of the region's connection to some of the sport's most influential figures and reinforces its reputation as a destination for world-class baseball competition.

Jupiter, FL – October 12, 2026 – Two of amateur baseball's most prestigious national events returned to Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium this fall, generating more than 17,500 hotel room nights and bringing thousands of athletes, coaches, families, scouts, and spectators to Palm Beach County. The Perfect Game World Wood Bat Association (WWBA) Freshman World Championship produced more than 5,500 room nights, while the Perfect Game WWBA World Championship generated nearly 12,000 room nights, reinforcing the region's position as one of the nation's premier destinations for amateur baseball. Hosted annually by Perfect Game, the world's largest youth baseball scouting and event organization, the WWBA Championships attract elite travel baseball programs from across the United States. These tournaments provide a national stage for many of the country's top prospects while offering unparalleled exposure to college recruiters and professional scouts. The WWBA World Championship is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious scouting events on the amateur baseball calendar, drawing hundreds of evaluators from Major League Baseball organizations and collegiate programs. The tournaments transformed Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium and its surrounding fields into a hub of activity throughout the five-day competition, showcasing Palm Beach County's ability to host large-scale national events. Beyond the action on the field, the championships generated substantial economic benefits for local hotels, restaurants, retailers, and attractions as teams and families traveled from around the country to participate. The combined room night production highlights the continued value of youth and amateur sports tourism as a key driver of visitor spending in The Palm Beaches. In addition to the economic impact, the events provided significant exposure for Palm Beach County within the baseball community. As top prospects competed in front of college recruiters and professional scouts, The Palm Beaches served as the backdrop for one of the sport's most important developmental showcases. The successful hosting of both championships further strengthens the Palm Beach County Sports Commission's partnership with Perfect Game and reinforces the destination's reputation as a year-round home for elite baseball competition.

MILITARY MAKEOVER RETURNS TO THE PALM BEACHES Palm Beach County is once again in the national spotlight as Lifetime’s Military Makeover with Montel returns for its second consecutive season filming in The Palm Beaches. Season 46 brings the home renovation series to Jupiter, where the production honors Air Force veteran William “Billy” Weatherholt and his family. Weatherholt served overseas as a deployment firefighter and EMT and continues his commitment to service as a South Florida firefighter and paramedic. Hosted by Navy veteran and military advocate Montel Williams, the BrandStar-produced series transforms homes for deserving military families with support from sponsors, volunteers and community partners. With more than 200 episodes, the show celebrates the sacrifices of America's veterans. Last season, the Palm Beach County Film & Television Commission (FTC) assisted with permits for the renovation of Purple Heart recipient Army Sergeant Matthew Dawson’s home in the Village of Palm Springs, where more than 100 community members gathered for the emotional reveal. For Season 46, the FTC once again supported the production, coordinating filming permits throughout the Weatherholt family’s Jupiter community and helping secure additional crew parking. Expanding the show's reach, DIRECTV recently launched a free, 24/7 Military Makeover with Montel channel on MyFree DIRECTV, featuring all 45 previous seasons.
WOMENS GOLF MAKES HISTORY
FEDERAL FILM TAX BILL INTRODUCED
Palm Beach Gardens is set to make sports history as the inaugural Women’s Team Golf League (WTGL) tees off Nov. 8 at the SoFi Center. The new league brings top women’s golf talent to The Palm Beaches, reinforcing its reputation as Florida’s Golf Capital. Five teams will compete in a two-hour team match-play event. The league includes ten regular-season matches followed by semifinals and a best-of-three championship series. ESPN and ION have secured multiyear U.S. media rights agreements, expanding the national exposure and building on the success of the men’s TGL. With world-class athletes, innovative competition and national television coverage, Palm Beach County takes center stage for a new era in women’s professional golf.
A bipartisan group of federal lawmakers has introduced the Motion Picture, Television and Entertainment Revitalization Act, proposing new tax incentive aimed at bringing more production back to the United States. The legislation would establish a 20% transferable federal tax credit for eligible U.S. labor expenses with additional incentives potentially increasing the credit to 30%. To quality, productions must exceed $1 million in costs and complete at least 75% of filming in the US. The proposed credit could also be combined with state incentives and applied to post-production and visual effects. If enacted, this could create new opportunities for Palm Beach County’s production industry, while strengthening America's competitiveness as a film destination. Sign the FilmUSA Incentive Letter for support here.

FOCUS ON FILM FILM FLASHBACK: BAD BOYS II (2003) Sometimes the perfect filming location comes down to timing! When Bad Boys II needed a mansion to demolish for an explosive action sequence, the production found its match in Delray Beach. Property owner Eric Cherry contacted the Palm Beach County Film & Television Commission (FTC) about an over 30,000 square-foot oceanfront mansion slated for demolition and redevelopment. The mansion became the home of villain Johnny Tapia in the 2003 blockbuster starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. After a month of preparation and extensive safety coordination, cameras captured the spectacular explosion that reduced the mansion to rubble. The sequel opened with $46.5 million domestically and grossed approximately $273 million worldwide, leaving its mark on Hollywood history and the Delray Beach coastline!
LOCATION SPOTLIGHT RIVERBEND PARK: JUPITER, FLORIDA
EDUCATION CORNER WHERE ARE THEY NOW? SSOF EDITION
Looking for Old Florida without having to build it from scratch? Riverbend Park in Jupiter offers a rare combination of natural landscape and period-ready elements that can help productions recreate Florida from the late 1800s into the early 20th century. The park’s Pioneer Homestead features a working sawmill, fenced garden, livestock pens, horse corral, smokehouse and sugar cane processing equipment, creating an authentic rural setting with plenty of practical detail for the camera. Surrounding prairie, hammocks, trails and the Loxahatchee River expand the possibilities beyond the farmstead, providing natural backdrops with little modern development in frame. For stories reaching furtherback into Florida history, the adjacent Loxahatchee River Battlefield Park preserves the site of the 1838 battles of the Second Seminole War. The area hosts historical programming and periodic battlefield reenactments, adding another connection to the region’s Seminole and pioneer history. Riverbend offers productions the opportunity to find multiple period looks within one location, making it a versatile option for historical features, and documentaries.

Production Activity Report For September 2026 Variance Explanations Percentage change variances of ± 10% in performance statistics are explained in this section. Year-over-year comparisons are influenced by both actual changes in production activity and shifts in the rolling dataset of tracked companies and productions from 2025 to 2026. Increases in Production Revenue are expected to persist throughout the year due to the addition of TGL to the 2026 rolling numbers. Similarly, the rise in Hotel Room Nights is driven largely by TGL’s production activity now tracked in 2026. Conversely, the decline in Production Days is projected to continue throughout the year as nearly a dozen companies were removed from the rolling numbers dataset. The variance explanations below will look beyond these established changes that we expect to continue to impact numbers over the course of this year and will focus on underlying trends and month-to-month activity that is contributing to the year-to-date changes.
1. Production Revenue: The 42% YTD increase reflects a one-percentage-point gain over the previous month. Yearover-year figures continue to benefit from TGL-related activity in the rolling dataset, while September’s production activity was bolstered by several high-profile projects, including the 46th season of Military Makeover with Montel Williams produced by Brandstar Studios, and the 2nd season of Speed Goes Pro produced by OBB Media. 2. Hotel Room Nights: The 57% YTD increase reflects a five-percentage-point gain over the previous month and continues to be driven primarily by the inclusion of TGL in our rolling figures. September’s hotel activity was anchored by two high-impact productions: Military Makeover Season 46, which generated 64 room nights, and a Brekiya Pharmaceutical commercial produced by FreshFly, which contributed 22 room nights. 3. Production Days: The 14% YTD decrease in Production Days remains consistent with the previous month and continues to reflect the shift in the composition of companies included in the rolling dataset, specifically the FTC tracking nine fewer production companies in 2026 compared to the prior year. Underlying permitted production activity tells a more encouraging story, with 30 permits issued in September 2026 compared to 16 in September 2025, which correlates to an 88% increase. 4. Total Productions: The 23% YTD increase in Total Productions reflects another six-percentage point gain over the previous month. Scuba Nation Palm Beaches, a Palm Beaches TV sponsored production, which secured eight separate permits across the County, and Evan Rogers Film’s documentary production, which pulled five permits throughout West Palm Beach and Juno Beach, were the largest contributors to this variance. 5. Total Leads: The 33% YTD decrease continues to narrow, and September delivered the strongest month-overmonth lead performance of the second half of the year, with 23 total leads recorded compared to 10 in September 2025, a 130% year-over-year increase for the month. Staff anticipates this positive momentum to carry through Q4 and into the new fiscal year. 6. Lead Conversions: The 23% YTD decrease continues to improve, narrowing ten percentage points from August’s figure. September recorded 9 conversions compared to 4 in September 2025, more than doubling the prior-year total for the month. 7. Website Unique Visitors: The 53% YTD increase continues to reflect significant growth in digital engagement, with 85,537 unique visitors recorded through September 2026 compared to 55,756 during the same period in 2025. September recorded 12,066 unique visitors compared to 8,720 in September 2025, continuing the elevated traffic levels driven by the paid social media campaign executed in partnership with Discover the Palm Beaches.

Lake Worth Lagoon Tour ERM hosted District 2 Commissioner-Elect Erica Whitfield on a Lake Worth Lagoon boat tour showcasing completed restoration projects and sites for future projects. The tour highlighted the ecological benefits of these projects and the importance of continued investment in lagoon restoration for water quality improvement, environmental monitoring, and habitat enhancement throughout the Lake Worth Lagoon.
Emergency Dune Restoration at Civic Center High wind and wave conditions this month resulted in significant erosion throughout County beaches. At Carlin Park, severe erosion was observed at the Jupiter Civic Center. To protect public infrastructure, ERM mobilized an emergency dune restoration project at this site. Up to 2,500 cubic yards of beach-compatible sand will be placed in front of the historic site to restore the dune and prevent further damage to the Center’s infrastructure. ERM will continue to assess impacts County-wide and adjust plans for restoration accordingly.
Upcoming North County Beach Renourishment An invitation to bid is currently being advertised for the North County Comprehensive Shore Protection Project, Segments 2 and 3. The project will place approximately 980,000 cubic yards of beach-compatible sand from the Jupiter Reef Club to 1.4 miles south of the Juno Pier to restore damage caused by hurricanes and other erosive conditions. The bid will be advertised for 30 days. Once a successful bidder has been selected, work is set to begin in February 2027.
LWL Seagrass Restoration The Lake Worth Lagoon Seagrass Restoration project completed planting at five out of six sites! The sixth site had naturally recruited seagrass cover of ~40%, so planting has been rescheduled to Spring 2027. The goal of this project is to plant 61,500 seagrass units at six 2-acre sites throughout the Lagoon. Approximately 2% of the planting units are protected with herbivory exclusion devices for 22 months. Sites will be monitored each year for three years to determine project success.

Lynn University Surveys for Gopher Tortoises Eagle Scout Project at Royal Palm Beach Pines An Eagle Scout project rehabilitated the Torres Trail at Royal Palm Beach Pines. The Scout assessed trail conditions over the entire ~2.5 mile length of the Torres Trail and used GIS to accurately inventory maintenance and replacement needs of all trail markers. The Scout coordinated painting of all existing markers, replaced 14, and added 11 brand new ones where large gaps occurred. All supplies and labor to complete this project were provided by the Scout and his team at no cost to the County. Thank you, Eagle Scouts!
Lynn University Wildlife Conservation students along with Professor Wayne Law assisted ERM staff with the monitoring of a gopher tortoise transect at Pondhawk Natural Area. The students braved the thorny scrub vegetation and surveyed 6 acres of gopher tortoise habitat locating and identifying 32 potentially occupied gopher tortoise burrows. Lynn University is the site’s adopter, and we appreciate their active participation!
Invasive Plant Lookalike Workshop NPDES Steering Committee Patrick Wille, Resources Protection Division Director, sits on the PBC Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Steering Committee as the County representative. As CoLead Permittee of the FDEP National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase I Permit, PBC ERM coordinates with 40 agencies and municipalities to comply with state permit requirements. Fiscal Year 2027 will mark the issuance of the new, Cycle 5, NPDES Permit.
ERM staff presented at the Non-Native Invasive Plant Lookalike Workshop hosted by the Treasure Coast Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area. The workshop focused on 52 plants ranging from Palm Beach County to Indian River County. The plants included natives with lookalike exotic species that cause confusion with identification among land managers. Participants learned to identify key differences between the comparable species and shared ways to positively identify the native and invasive counterparts to facilitate invasive plant management.

6.B.
Combining Cat B & Cat CII into one Grant Program (Category B) Background Category B & Category CII funds are provided to support marketing and cultural tourism expenses associated with the presentation and/or production of programs open to the public, with an emphasis on reaching out of county visitors. The goals of both programs are the same and combining the two grant programs into one has many advantages for grantees, Cultural Council, TDC and the County. As we move towards supporting the development and implementation of the Tourism Master Plan it is important to align our grant programs in support of the plan’s goals. As stakeholders, the residents of Palm Beach County play an important role in the successful delivery of the Tourism Master Plan. Marketing our cultural assets to our residents is crucial to educating them on the important economic and social benefits of cultural tourism to our county. Marketing grant dollars spent locally will become more vital to support educating stakeholders in addition to the continued funding of out-of-county marketing efforts to attract visitors. Increased efficiency/reduction in grant administration One set of rules for all applicants that deliver cultural programming to Palm Beach County residents and visitors. Category CII grant pool has been shrinking, decreased from 15 grantees in 2022 to 11 in 2026 (4 out of 5 moved to Category B). •
• • •
Reduction in time spent in the management/updating of application & reimbursement guidelines, online applications, forms, contract templates, and website information regarding grant programs. One panel review and one set of panelists versus two. Ease of marketing one program versus two. One set of reimbursement rules eases the burden on grantees, Cultural Council, TDC and County staff. o Example 1: The 100+ mile rule for Cat B makes it very cumbersome for grantees to separate out their marketing efforts and campaigns to fit our rule. It is difficult for staff to determine the 100+ mile rule when print & digital expenses are combined in a marketing campaign. If we allow a combination of both IC & OOC for Cat B like we do for Cat CII, the grants team can continue to monitor to ensure both IC & OOC efforts are continued. o Example 2: Taglines & logos. Different taglines for OOC versus IC for radio. Discover & TDC logos are similar and often cause confusion among grantees and result in disallowed expenses.
6.C.
Key Differences in grant programs (current, FY2026/27) Strong emphasis on tourism impact, hotel nights and OOC marketing for Category B. Category CII is more focused on growth in these areas. Category B Min operating revenue (OR) $1.175M $200K in budgeted marketing activity OOO marketing support 3 scoring categories (application) 5 years of fiscal operation
Category CII Min operating revenue (OR) $200K $100K in budgeted marketing activity IC/OOC marketing support 5 scoring categories (application) 2 years of fiscal operation
Funding Levels (4) 1. Operating Revenues of $2 million or less: request 10% of operating revenues 2. Operating Revenues between $2,000,001 and $3,000,000: request $ 200,000 3. Operating Revenues between $3,000,001 and $5,000,000: request $250,000 4. Operating Revenues above $5,000,000: request $300,000
Funding Levels (1) 1. Operating Revenues from $200,000 to $1,174,999: request up to $150,000
CULTURAL COUNCIL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FY2027/28 Category B Min operating revenue (OR) $500K Budgeted Marketing Activity:(Personnel Marketing, OPS Marketing PR, Marketing & Advertising) • $100K under $2M in OR • $200K over $2M in OR IC & OOC marketing support OOC audience numbers – request most recent OOC audience numbers & projections for FY28 3 scoring categories (application) • Cultural & organizational excellence • OOC marketing impact • IC marketing impact 5 years of fiscal operation Funding Levels 1. Operating Revenues between $500,000 and $1,174,999: request up to $150,000 2. Operating Revenues between $1,175,000 and $2,000,000: request $180,000 3. Operating Revenues between $2,000,001 and $3,000,000: request $ 200,000 4. Operating Revenues between $3,000,001 and $5,000,000: request $250,000 5. Operating Revenues above $5,000,000: request $300,000 *Request amount cannot exceed 25% of OR
RECOMMENDATIONS CONTINUED: Reimbursements/logo & tagline usage: •
•
IC/OOC marketing support: o Track IC/OOC marketing expenses. At least 50% of reimbursable marketing/advertising expenses must be OOC. Tracked via media kits and proof of reach provided by grantees. Logos & taglines: o Cultural Council logo with tagline “Funded by the Tourist Development Council” must be present on all marketing and advertising collateral. o The “Funded by the Tourist Development Council” tagline must be used for radio advertising.
Award spreadsheet: • •
Add a cap rule to existing grant award formula ensuring awards cannot exceed the request amount (eliminates excess funds scenario in FY26) Reduce budget from $7.1M to $6.7M for FY28: o $432K reduction in funding pool compared to FY26 & FY27 o decreases in funding range from 2%-7%, average reduction 6%

compelling and competitive matchups each year. Since its inception, the game has served as a launching pad for future professional athletes and coaches, producing more than 60 NFL Draft selections and dozens of additional players who went on to sign as undrafted free agents. The Boca Raton Bowl is an NCAA Division I FBS postseason college football bowl game and one of 47 FBS bowl games held nationwide. Florida hosts eight NCAA-sanctioned FBS bowl games, with the Boca Raton Bowl serving as Palm Beach County’s premier college football event. Palm Beach County is one of only 38 counties in the United States that hosts a college football bowl game, placing it among a select group of destinations nationwide. With more than 3,100 counties across the country, the presence of the Boca Raton Bowl emphasizes Palm Beach County’s unique position within the collegiate sports landscape. Football is embedded in Palm Beach County's identity. From its storied high school football tradition and collegiate programs at Keiser University and Florida Atlantic University to ownership of the nationally recognized Lou Groza Award and hosting the annual Boca Raton Bowl, Palm Beach County offers a comprehensive football ecosystem that reinforces its position as a premier football destination. Media Impacts: Since its debut in 2014, the Boca Raton Bowl game generated significant media and marketing benefits to The Palm Beaches. College football is one of the richest in media in American sports, only behind the National Football League (NFL).

Event Description: The Palm Beach County Sports Commission is partnering with American Cornhole League to bring back the American Cornhole League Palm Beach Signature Event on January 14-17, 2027, at the Palm Beach County Convention Center. The American Cornhole League (ACL) promotes and develops cornhole as a sport for any age and skill level. The organization establishes the rules and regulations to govern the sport around the world – stating that “Anyone Can Play, Anyone Can Win.” American Cornhole League Palm Beach Signature Event is represented by 650 coed athletes mostly ranging from the ages of 18-35 and is expected to attract 650 participants and 950 spectators to Palm Beach County from across the United States. The proposed venue: The Palm Beach County Convention Center, meets the ACL requirements by exceeding the requested square-foot range: 50,000 square feet, which are necessary for the approximately 90 sets of cornhole boards spread across the area. The Palm Beach County Convention Center can be divided in half when necessary, has an 8-story on-site parking garage with over 2,000 parking spaces and loading docks with direct access to the exhibit hall, and is located in West Palm Beach with direct access to shopping and dining destinations, the beach, and 10 hotels within a three-mile radius, making it an ideal spot to host this event for the ACL Kick-off Batlle attendees to experience the Palm Beaches in ways beyond the sporting event. Venue Requirements: 50,000 sq ft of indoor space is required for National events. Two separate spaces within the same venue is preferred. (If two separate spaces are not available, the space must be able to be divided by an airwall to create separate area for broadcast.) Loading into the venue, a loading dock would be preferred. Otherwise, a standard double door without a center divider would be preferred. Tournament Space: filled with approximately 90 sets of cornhole boards; each set occupies an 8’ x 35’ area. 4 livestream courts- aired across social media platforms and ACL TV for viewing throughout the entire weekend. Broadcast Space: minimum of 125’ x 125’. This area will be utilized purely for television purposes. If there is arena style seating this space can be adjusted in size slightly. A pre-function area is preferred with this space for our Fan Zone; this area will include vendors, sponsors, and fan activation. Projected Event Schedule: Thursday, January 14: Load-in 8AM-8PM Friday, January 15: Tournament Day 8AM-10PM Saturday, January 16: Tournament Day 8AM- 10PM Sunday, January 17: Tournament Day 9AM- 6PM Event History: The Palm Beach County Sports Commission began its partnership with the American Cornhole League (ACL) in 2024 by hosting the inaugural ACL Kick-Off Battle at the Palm Beach County Convention Center in West Palm Beach. The event marked the first professional cornhole tournament ever hosted in Palm Beach County and served as the season-opening event of the American Cornhole League's national Pro Series schedule.

Held April 3–7, 2024, the event attracted 393 athletes and hundreds of spectators traveled from across the United States to compete in singles, doubles, and team competitions. The ACL Kick-Off Battle generated a total of 1,855 room nights. Additionally, the ACL Cornhole held a level 1 cornhole event in Utica, New York last year. The event attracted 653 participants, 633 traveling participants, 980 spectators, and generated 2,215 room nights. The Sports Commission and ACL are projecting similar number for the 2027 West Palm Beach Event. About ACL Cornhole: The American Cornhole League (ACL) is one of the sanctioning bodies for the sport of professional cornhole in the United States, the ACL hosts over 25,000 tournaments per year and has an active player base of over 100,000 players. Established in 2015, the ACL has rapidly grown in popularity, organizing competitive cornhole tournaments across the country. Cornhole, also known as bean bag toss, involves players taking turns throwing bags filled with corn kernels at a raised platform with a hole in it. The ACL sets official rules, standards, and regulations for competitive play, including scoring systems and equipment specifications. It also oversees the organization of professional cornhole events, including national championships, regional competitions, and league play. The two main divisions of the American Cornhole League are the Pro Division and Open Division. Pro Division tournaments are specifically reserved for ACL Pros. Open Division tournaments are open to all ACL members and to the public. Both divisions span the length of the ACL season which runs from October through August each year. With a focus on promoting the sport and providing opportunities for players of all skill levels, the American Cornhole League has played a significant role in elevating cornhole from a backyard pastime to a widely recognized and respected competitive sport in the United States. The league debuted its first championship event in 2016, named the Championship of Bags, which aired on ESPN3. One year later, the ACL appeared on television for the first time, airing its 2017 Championships of Bags on ESPN2 on the back of its first ESPN deal. At the conclusion of the 2019 season, the ACL created a non-profit governing body for the sport in the United States called USA Cornhole, with the idea of making cornhole an Olympic Sport.

USA BMX: The American Bicycle Association (ABA) is the world’s largest BMX sanctioning body for the sport of bicycle motocross (BMX). United States operations are conducted under the brand USA BMX and Canadian operations are conducted under the brand BMX Canada. In 2005, the ABA formed the USA BMX Foundation to foster increased youth participation in the sport of BMX.

around the world, who travel to The Palm Beaches and stay in our destination for an average of 3-months. The Gauntlet’s uniqueness lies in the fact that it comprises three distinct stages, each building on the last, creating a captivating narrative that unfolds throughout the winter season. Only one team in history has captured the series, by winning all three championships (C.V. Whitney Cup, USPA Gold Cup and U.S. Open Polo Championship). Teams must possess, manage, and maintain top-tier strings of horses to sustain the three-month competition. The Gauntlet of Polo signifies the best of the 26goal tournaments that take place in the United States. The prize money distribution for the 2024 season will follow last year’s format. $50,000 will be awarded the winning teams of the C.V. Whitney Cup and USPA Gold Cup and $100,000 will be presented to the winner of the U.S. Open Polo Championship. Gauntlet of Polo – C.V. Whitney Cup: This event was named after C.V. (Cornelius Vanderbilt “Sonny”) Whitney, an avid polo player and threetime winner of the U.S. Open in 1928, 1937 and 1938, and son of 10-goal Hall of Famer Harry Payne Whitney. The C.V. Whitney Cup is the first in a series of three 22-goal tournaments, which belongs to the Gauntlet of Polo. The winner of the C.V. Whitney Cup will receive $50,000. In partnership with USPA Global Licensing, each of the teams will select a charity of their choice from 10 non-profits and both charities of the winner and runners-up will receive a $2,500 donation. Gauntlet of Polo – USPA Gold Cup: The USPA Gold Cup is the second 22-goal tournament of the Florida high-goal season and the second leg in the Gauntlet of Polo, hosted by the National Polo Center. The USPA Gold Cup is preceded by the C.V. Whitney Cup and will be followed by the U.S. Open Polo Championship. Established in 1974 at Oak Brook Polo Club in Illinois, it moved to Florida in 1979 and became the crown jewel of the winter season. In its heyday at the Palm Beach Polo and Country Club, during the 80s and early 90s, the USPA Gold Cup was the tournament to win, attracting anywhere from 11 to 20 teams. This event has now moved to the National Polo Center and creates significant impacts in The Palm Beaches. Gauntlet of Polo – US Open Polo Championship: The most prestigious polo tournament in the United States, the U.S. Open Polo Championship, is the apex of the Gauntlet of Polo and held during the Florida high-goal winter polo season that attracts fans and polo enthusiasts from across the United States and around the world. The U.S. Open Polo Championship is one of the oldest sports events in the United States with its debut taking place in 1904 at Van Cortlandt Park in New York City. The US Open Polo Championship circulated among a variety of polo facilities located in New York, Rhode Island, Texas, California, Kentucky, and Florida. In 2004, marking one hundred years since the tournament’s inception, the U.S. Open relocated to Wellington, Florida where it has been held ever since.

Labor Force – Polo Season: Each polo team brings a labor force to The Palm Beaches. In addition to the polo players, each polo team relies on their organizations of managers, grooms, veterinarians, farriers, coaches, and trainers. The polo season also brings a variety of vendors, sponsors, staff, officials, judges, jump crew, and media. Finally, both local and traveling spectators will enjoy the world class polo taking place at the National Polo Center. The Gauntlet of Polo matches that take place on Sunday will attract as much as 10,000+ spectators per game. Overnight Stays: The Gauntlet of Polo is 72 days in length. Considering the enormous duration of this event series, the Gauntlet of Polo creates a tremendous economic and tourism impact. The polo industry will live in hotels or seasonal rentals for a ¼ of a year in The Palm Beaches. In 2024, the Palm Beach County Sports Commission used the Destination’s International Event Impact Calculator to determine the room night demand for the 2024 Gauntlet of Polo. Each team is responsible for 45 players and support personnel to operate during the event. By using these metrics, the room night demand was 13,439, which did not account for any spectators during the event. If a separate analysis was done to account for travelling spectators, the room night demand would be significantly higher. Historical Data – Overnight Stays: The Palm Beach County Sports Commission conducted an economic impact study in 2011, which revealed the polo season delivered 20,512 room nights to the county’s lodging industry, as well as more than $20 million in economic impact. Last year (2025), the Palm Beach County Sports Commission accounted for a room night demand of 12,145. Media: In addition to livestreaming on USPA Polo Network, polo games for the C.V. Whitney Cup, USPA Gold Cup and U.S. Open Polo Championship will be televised on ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPNEWS, and streaming on ESPN+.

The Palm Beach Challenge is expanded to include three (3) divisions, which includes spring training for college baseball teams, international clubs, and independent minor league baseball teams. Below outlines the following for divisions for the Palm Beach Challenge: A. College Baseball – The Palm Beach Challenge is the longest running spring training event for college baseball teams in Florida. Approximately 30 college baseball teams will participate in this year’s Palm Beach Challenge. In 2024, This event will invite college teams that compete in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) ranks for Division II & III. The event also brings college teams that belong to the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA). The participating teams travel during their spring break week to train and compete in officially sanctioned NCAA and NJCAA games. At the beginning of each week, a new set of teams travel to Palm Beach County while other teams depart. Each team will play 5 games, on average, during their stay. B. International Baseball Clubs – The Palm Beach Challenge will host (10) international baseball clubs. These club teams will originate from the Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, and Colombia. The teams will train and compete in games over a week-long stay in The Palm Beaches. C. Professional Independent Teams – For the third time, the Palm Beach Challenge will be a spring training home for professional baseball players. In 2020, Major League Baseball eliminated affiliations of existing minor league baseball teams (from 160 to 120).

The Palm Beach Challenge will bring between 8 to 12 independent minor league baseball teams for a week-long spring training. These minor league baseball teams will also compete in games during their week-long stay. An additional 70+ professional baseball players, affiliated with independent minor league teams, will also train at the Santaluces Athletic Complex. The 70 players, who are not traveling with their entire team, will train in Palm Beach County for the entire month.

Spartan Palm Beach Sprint Weekend: The Palm Beach County Sports Commission is partnering with Spartan Race, Inc. to host the Palm Beaches Spartan Sprint Weekend, on March 27-28, 2027, at Burt Aaronson South County Regional Park in Boca Raton. The Palm Beach County Sports Commission submitted a successful bid to relocate this Spartan Sprint Race to The Palm Beaches in 2019 and beyond. The event title was rebranded for The Palm Beaches. The South Florida Spartan Sprint had previously been held in Miami since 2017. This event will feature Spartan’s signature “Sprint” style race, which encompasses a distance of 3+ miles and approximately 25 obstacles. Obstacles will include fire jumps, tall walls, monkey bars, rope climbs, and more. Due to the flat nature of the course, there will be many back-to-back obstacles to account for the lack of elevation changes for the racers. Racers have the option to enter one of three different divisions. For the most competitive racers, there is the Elite division, which is held first thing in the morning. Racers can also compete by age group (1417, 18-24, 25-29, 30-39, 40-49, or 50+), or they can simply enter the open division for more recreational/novice racers. As with all Spartan events around the world, the Spartan Palm Beach Sprint Weekend will feature a youth race, for those ages 4-13 years old, where they are put to the test against age-appropriate obstacles and race distances. While some parents will compete while their kids are racing, many attend as spectators and cheer on the youth. Projected Event Schedule: Saturday, March 27: 7:30am – Elite Men 7:45am – Elite Women 8:00am – 8:30am – Age Group Start Times 8:45am – 12:00pm – Morning Start Times 9:00am – Spartan Kids Race Last Heat – TBD Sunday, March 28: 7:30am – Elite Men 7:45am – Elite Women 8:00am – 8:30am – Age Group Start Times 8:45am – 12:00pm – Morning Start Times 9:00am – Spartan Kids Race Last Heat – TBD Waves of 250 racers will be released every 15 minutes

About Spartan Race: Spartan Race, founded in 2010 and headquartered in Massachusetts, is the world’s largest obstacle race and endurance brand. The Spartan lifestyle encompasses race events, training and nutrition programs, and a global community of millions that band together to overcome obstacles on and off the course. More than 5 million people have crossed the finish line together at Spartan races across the globe. Spartan events focus on sport and athleticism, pushing the bodies and minds of competitors to the limit across miles of unforgiving terrain while they conquer signature obstacles such as the Spear Throw, Bucket Brigade, and Barbed Wire Crawl. In addition to the “Sprint” race, Spartan offers two additional types of races. The “Super” race features 8+ miles and 25+ obstacles, while the “Beast” features 12+ miles and 30+ obstacles. While the “Super” and the “Beast” attract a higher caliber and more competitive athlete, there is significantly less tourism impact, due to the limited number of novice/recreational racers. However, with the Spartan “Trifecta” (special award to those racers completing all three races in one season), the “Sprint” race still attracts a large number of high caliber and very competitive racers. PBCSC Responsibilities: • Assist with venue selection and coordination • Assist with housing solutions • Assist with operational and logistical needs, permitting, volunteers, etc. • Assist with marketing & public relation efforts • Provide a grant/event servicing to offset facility rental and operational expense

Event Description: The American Athletic Conference Baseball Championship is an NCAA Division I postseason baseball tournament that determines the conference champion and its automatic berth in the NCAA Baseball Tournament. The conference has accepted Palm Beach County’s bid, with CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches confirmed as the 2027 host venue. The championship is planned for May 25–30, 2027. The championship previously took place in Clearwater, Florida. Historical host-market references suggest substantial attendance, hotel demand, and media visibility; however, Clearwater figures are contextual benchmarks and are not represented as verified Palm Beach County outcomes. The grant request uses the more conservative Palm Beach County estimate of 3,500 room nights and $1,575,000 in direct visitor spending. Hosting the championship at CACTI Park will support late-May hotel demand, visitor spending, and the destination’s collegiate sports profile. Florida Atlantic University’s conference membership provides a local connection, although actual team participation depends on championship qualification.
