Bring the Heat—What to Expect at Our Vision Summit in Miami
We’re ditching our coats and packing summer clothes as we head to Miami for our Vision Summit at the revolutionary Brickell City Center. Coined Miami’s “city within a city”, this game-changing center boasts over 500,000 square feet of open-air retail space, transforming the heart of downtown Miami with a supercharged fashion and culinary experience—and the C&C team can’t wait to experience the creative melting pot of Art Basel.
We have a jam-packed day of panels, exciting pop-ups, interactive workshops (keep reading for details on the exclusive workshop for Insiders’ Members), networking, and so much more planned for the day so we recommend you start planning now. But before we give away too much, follow along to see what the Vision Summit has in store.
