Miami’s creator economy is stepping into its next chapter as #NextGen Creators returns to Paradise Plaza at the Miami Design District with a Spring Session designed to feel more immersive, more intimate, and far more intentional than a typical industry gathering. Hosted by sibling creators Vale Genta and Sebastian Genta, the March 6 experience reframes what creator-focused programming can look like when community, commerce, and culture can collide naturally in one space.

Set inside Paradise Plaza, the Spring Session introduces a refreshed format anchored by a headline fireside chat with entrepreneur, investor, and digital marketing visionary Gary Vaynerchuk of VaynerMedia. Known for spotting shifts in consumer behavior long before they hit the mainstream, Vaynerchuk brings a perspective shaped by decades of building culture-driven brands, scaling digital businesses, and helping creators understand how to turn influence into long-term enterprise.

Rather than leaning into surface-level motivation, the conversation centers on sustainability, ownership, and the reality of building in a fast-moving digital world, offering creators practical insight into audience trust, brand alignment, and how to remain relevant while platforms evolve at record speed. It is the kind of dialogue Miami’s creator community has been craving, one that speaks directly to ambition without glossing over the work required to get there.

In honor of Women’s Month, the Spring Session also places female leadership front and center with a powerhouse panel spotlighting founders who have successfully navigated the creator-to-CEO transition. The lineup brings together Cindy Prado, founder and creator of Prado Jewels; Anne-Cecile Brilland, Brand President of IGK Hair at Luxury Brand Partners; and Fefi Oliveira, creator and co-founder of Influur.

Together, they explore what it truly means to scale founder-led brands, how to protect creative integrity while growing teams, and why redefining influence through a female lens matters now more than ever. The discussion moves beyond buzzwords, diving into leadership, resilience, and the emotional intelligence required to build businesses rooted in authenticity rather than algorithms.

Beyond the stage, #NextGen Creators curates a full afternoon of interactive brand moments and elevated hospitality, transforming the event into a sensory experience that mirrors Miami’s creative energy. Participating partners, including Taudrey, Beam, PRAGA, and Outsmart Labs, deliver immersive touchpoints throughout the venue, while a “Taste of Miami Design District” luncheon anchors networking in a relaxed, social setting, complemented by pours from The Pale Rosé and LALO Tequila.

For Vale, this Spring Session represents a natural evolution. She describes the new format as more impactful and personal, noting that the Miami Design District reflects the same forward-thinking creativity that defines the #NextGen Creators community. Sebastian Genta echoes that sentiment, emphasizing that their mission has always been to build meaningful connections in Miami, and this iteration raises the bar by welcoming global voices while celebrating female founders during Women’s Month.

As Miami continues its rise as a cultural hub for entrepreneurs and digital creators, #NextGen Creators reinforces its position as a platform where ideas meet opportunity and influence transforms into enterprise. Tickets are available for general admission and VIP access, with VIP guests receiving premium seating, exclusive networking opportunities, and a curated swag bag valued at over $300, thoughtfully assembled by Vale and Sebastian.

With fireside insights from Vaynerchuk, a female-led leadership panel, immersive brand activations, and a community-driven atmosphere, the Spring Session is less about attending another event and more about stepping into a movement shaping the future of creator-led business in Miami and beyond.
