DogPod, a 4K podcast-style studio at the welcome party, lets community speakers record panels for their own shows. The setup builds on Dog Talk from DDNYC.
December 7 at Arlo Hotel
The Swag Drop and Welcome Party opens Dec. 7 at Higher Ground at Arlo Hotel from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. A VIP gathering follows at 7 p.m. with VIP ticket required. The Kick-Off on the Rooftop at Arlo Hotel runs from 8 to 11 p.m. Arlo Wynwood serves as home base, timed right after Art Basel. The team toured many hotels to keep rooms within reach for more of the community. Staying there is recommended, not required.
December 8 Collectors Club Day
Day two is a Collectors Club day in Wynwood with on-site card grading. Rip and Sip runs Dec. 8 at Collectors Club from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. A second VIP gathering is set for 7 p.m. with VIP ticket required. Community members shared DDL unboxings and DDL TCG cards are now gradeable by AGS. Collector Adam Weitsman added a Diamond and a Wizard Doginal Dog that morning.
Filmed DDL Championship
The in-person DDL championship will be filmed and shared. The team is recruiting community announcers and a referee.
Dogs at Sea Finale
The Dogs at Sea finale takes place on the water. It sails Dec. 8 aboard The Vessel with boarding from 7 to 8 p.m. and voyage from 8 p.m. to midnight.
December 9 Close
The Hangover Hangout closes the schedule on Dec. 9 from 9 a.m. to noon.
The schedule is subject to change at any time. DDMiami 2026 is a Doginal Dogs event. The community was co-founded by Shibo and Bark and lives on Dogecoin through the Doginals protocol.
