#NextGen Creators Returns to Miami Beach for Its Biggest Summit Yet

#NextGen Creators is back in Miami on Friday, October 23, 2026 — fourth summit, largest one yet — and this time the sibling-run series is setting up at Andaz Miami Beach Resort & Spa.

Founded by Vale and Sebastian Genta, the Miami-born platform started as a way to get creators in the same room. Four events later it’s a full-day summit for more than 300 creators, founders, marketers, and brand people who actually work this city. Panels, workshops, brand activations, a luncheon, a happy hour. The point is not another conference badge. It’s the room.

“We’re so excited to bring #NextGen Creators back to Miami for our fourth event, and this one really feels like our biggest yet,” said Vale Genta. “What started as an idea to bring creators together in real life has turned into such an incredible community. There’s so much talent in Miami, and we love creating a space where people can meet, share what they’ve learned, make real connections and hopefully leave feeling even more inspired about what they’re building.”

Sebastian Genta put the business case simply: creators here aren’t just stacking followers. They’re launching products, running companies, and sitting in the middle of how brands reach people. #NextGen is built to put all of that on one floor.

Confirmed so far:

  • Sami Clarke, co-founder of FORM
  • Dianna Cohen, founder of Crown Affair
  • Stephane Colleu, CEO of Dr. Brandt Skincare
  • Tara Bosch, founder of Snackish
  • Catalina Gomez, CMO of K20 by Sprinter
  • Laura Brodie, Chief Growth Officer of Ritual

More names are still coming.

The first three summits sold through. Previous stages have included Gary Vaynerchuk, Samantha Schnur of @TheNaughtyFork, Blake Geffen of Vivrelle, and Catherine Gallego of TelevisaUnivision — the mix of operators and creators that Miami actually runs on.

General admission covers all three panels, lunch, a networking happy hour, and a brand showcase with Kind Patches, RMS Beauty, K20 By Sprinter, Ritual, Dr. Brandt, and Snackish. VIP adds a swag bag of full-size product and merch valued at more than $400.

Early-bird pricing closed September 10. Tickets are now $115 general admission and $175 VIP.

Andaz is the right kind of Miami Beach backdrop for this — Art Deco bones, ocean-front spa, José Andrés outlets on property — local enough to feel like the city, polished enough for a full-day industry room.
