NostalgiaCon and iHeartMedia Miami Join Forces to Bring NostalgiaCon Miami ‘80s Pop Culture Convention to South Florida

NostalgiaCon, LLC, producers of decade-specific conventions for fans of retro-pop culture, and iHeartMedia, the number one audio company in the United States, are joining forces to bring the NostalgiaCon Miami ‘80s pop culture convention to South Florida. The second NostalgiaCon convention (www.NostalgiaConMiami.com) is taking place April 25-26 at the MANA Convention Center in Miami’s Wynwood arts district.

As the presenting partner of NostalgiaCon Miami, iHeartMedia will leverage its nine South Florida market-leading iconic multiplatform stations and brands Y-100; TU 94.9; 93.9 MIA; 103.5 The BEAT; BIG 105.9 Miami; NewsRadio 610 WIOD; 940 WINZ Miami Sports; The Bull 104.7; and Throwback Miami, to promote and market the convention to millions of fans across the region. iHeartMedia Miami represents all of the musical genres, multicultural, and cross-generational audiences that are passionate about ‘80s pop culture.

iHeartMedia’s participation includes sponsorship collaborations for branded activations, VIP fan experiences, contests, giveaways, and grassroots promotions. Enrique Santos, Chairman and Chief Creative Officer of iHeartLatino, will serve as the chair of the convention’s national advisory board.

“This partnership turbo-charges NostalgiaCon Miami, immediately elevating our show’s stature and content offering for the benefit of our fans, sponsors, performers, celebrities, and exhibitors,” said NostalgiaCon CEO Manny Ruiz. “The fact our convention features major music concerts with original ‘80s artists as a vital component of the show makes it even more strategic to have a presenting partner like iHeartMedia on board.”

NostalgiaCon Miami is a decade takeover show for the fans of ‘80s music, icons, legends, toys, cars, collections, and much more. With Wynwood as its canvas, the second annual “comic-con” of retro pop culture festivals will feature a jam-packed weekend of music acts representing all the genres of the ‘80s, film and TV show reunions, exhibitors and collectors, exclusive merchandise, panels, cosplay, arcade gaming, classic ‘80s cars, and other surprises.
