The Future of Digital Influence Unfolds at #NextGen Creators in Miami

Following the success of its debut this past March, the second iteration of #NextGen Creators returns to Miami on Friday, October 24, 2025, uniting the most innovative voices shaping the creator economy. Hosted by lifestyle personalities and siblings Vale and Sebastian Genta at the Mondrian South Beach, the event will spotlight the intersection of influence, commerce, and culture, while providing creators and industry leaders with an essential platform for collaboration and discovery.

Throughout the day, attendees will hear from Sebastian and Vale Genta alongside an impressive lineup of creators, brand founders, and thought leaders. Featured panelists include creators Helen Owen and Zack Kalter, co-founders of PHLOW app; Blake Geffen, Founder of Vivrelle; Victoria Gomez, Associate Director of Influencer Marketing at Steve Madden; Nancy Richmond, Marketing Professor at FIU Graduate School of Business; and executives from TikTok Shop. Together, they will explore the evolution of digital entrepreneurship, community building, and the future of social commerce.

At its core, #NextGen Creators was designed to unite the next generation of curious creatives, entrepreneurs, and brand trailblazers. With Miami’s Latino community representing one of the fastest-growing segments of the creator economy, the event is uniquely positioned to highlight Hispanic creators and culture as a driving force in digital influence today.

“Miami has become a hub for creators, and #NextGen Creators is all about giving a platform to the voices shaping that culture,” said Vale Genta. “We’re excited to bring people together in our hometown to inspire, share, and connect.”

In addition to panels, the event will host a Mix-and-Mingle Lunch to connect creators and brands. Throughout the day, guests can enjoy #NextGen’s first-ever #NextGen Brand Showcase, which will connect leading names in beauty, including Vacation, MAËLYS, Truly Beauty, Palmer’s, and Saltair, with creator attendees so they can shop, sample, and create content directly with the brand’s featured products. The day will close with a networking happy hour overlooking Biscayne Bay. 

“After moving back from Los Angeles, we noticed a real gap in our city. There wasn’t a forum or community offering the tools and networking we wished we had when starting our careers,” said Sebastian Genta. “We wanted to create a space in Miami where creators, brands, and entrepreneurs, especially from the Hispanic community that’s so central to this city, can come together and grow.”

All tickets include full access to the lunch, three dynamic panel discussions, and the evening networking happy hour. For more information and to secure tickets, visit www.thenextgencreator.com. Stay connected for updates by following @next.gencreators on Instagram.
