About Pier Sixty-Six
The newly reimagined Pier Sixty-Six brings an iconic Fort Lauderdale landmark back to life as a modern waterfront resort. Set along the marina, it combines distinctive mid-century architecture and sweeping water views with beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces. We’ll take full advantage of the waterfront setting with outdoor breakfasts, breaks, and evening receptions. It’s an exceptional backdrop to connect with fellow DCN executives and enjoy the Summit.
