2 min read August 2023 — Cementing Miami-Dade’s rising national profile and covering how best to grapple with the changes underway will be central themes to the discussions at the upcoming Invest: Miami 2022-2023 Launch Conference. Taking place at the Scott Galvin Community Center in the City of North Miami on Sept. 28 from 8:00 AM – 11:30 AM, the summit will celebrate the official release of Capital Analytics’ eighth edition of Invest: Miami.
Providing the summit’s opening keynote address will be Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. The Launch Conference will bring together regional industry and community leaders to share their insights and perspectives on the region’s business climate, ongoing and future-facing issues and how their respective organizations are maximizing potential in the wake of Miami’s ongoing growth. The event will feature three panel discussions that will center on the professional services sector, decision-making in today’s economic climate and these decisions will impact the county’s future, and how to continue Miami’s growth and the factors that will ensure its sustainable growth.
“This is our eighth edition of Invest:Miami, and its continued success indicates the appetite for high-quality business intelligence and the demand for thought-leadership from Miami’s public and private stakeholders,” Capital Analytics’ President and CEO Abby Melone said. “From Mayors Levine-Cava, Suarez, and Gelber to the presidents and CEOs in real estate, finance, healthcare and education, among other key industries, this publication is an unparalleled look inside to what makes Miami’s economy tick, opening doors and providing information on the business landscape across Miami-Dade.”
Check-in at the conference will begin at 8:00AM with a breakfast networking hour. The opening remarks will begin at 9:00AM, followed by an opening keynote speech from Mayor Levine Cava. This will be succeeded by three robust panel discussions.
The first panel, ‘Innovation & Ingenuity: What the professional services industry is doing to adapt to the now and prepare for the future’ will feature David Yellen, dean of the University of Miami School of Law as moderator, with Albert Primo, chief innovation officer at Kaufman Rossin; Scott Brandman, managing partner for Miami-New York of Baker Mckenzie; Craig Armstrong, managing partner of Hancock Askew and Co LLP; and Jeff Watts, head of corporate banking for Florida and Alabama of Valley Bank as panelists.
