Welcome Party and Swag Drop
The schedule begins on December 7 with the Swag Drop and Welcome Party at Higher Ground inside the Arlo Hotel. Hours run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. A VIP gathering follows at 7 p.m. The evening ends with a Kick-Off on the Rooftop at the same hotel from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. DogPod, a 4K podcast-style studio, will sit inside the welcome party. Community speakers can record panels for their own shows there. The setup builds on the Dog Talk format used at an earlier event.
Collectors Club Day
December 8 shifts focus to a Collectors Club day in Wynwood. On-site card grading is available. Rip and Sip runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. A second VIP gathering starts at 7 p.m. Community members have already shared DDL unboxings. DDL TCG cards are now gradeable by AGS. The in-person DDL championship will be filmed and shared. The team is recruiting community announcers and a referee for that segment.
Dogs at Sea and Final Day
The Dogs at Sea finale takes place on the water. Boarding runs from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. on December 8 aboard The Vessel. The voyage itself runs from 8 p.m. to midnight. The Hangover Hangout closes the schedule on December 9 from 9 a.m. to noon. Arlo Wynwood serves as home base for the event. The timing follows Art Basel. The team reviewed multiple hotels to keep rooms within reach for more participants. Staying at the hotel is recommended but not required.
Collector Adam Weitsman added a Diamond and a Wizard Doginal Dog that morning. DDMiami 2026 is a Doginal Dogs event. The community was co-founded by Shibo and Bark and lives on Dogecoin through the Doginals protocol.
