Join us for a cocktail and awards reception. The Certified Legends Ball brings together executives, entrepreneurs, investors, philanthropists, and changemakers for one night of celebration and generosity that opens LegacyCon Weekend 2026 in Miami.

This year, we’re using this room to do something bigger: launch the Certified Legacy Fund, a philanthropic commitment to deploy capital and service into organizations strengthening economic mobility in our communities. The evening is a fundraiser, a celebration, and a declaration that legacy isn’t just what you build for yourself, it’s what you leave behind for others.

Using AI occasionally is different from intentionally integrating it into how work gets done. This session explores how professionals and organizations can redesign workflows around humans and AI to improve productivity, increase capacity, and determine where human judgment and expertise remain essential.

Doing great work is only part of what moves a career forward. As professionals advance, their value increasingly depends on their ability to communicate effectively, influence decisions, navigate relationships, manage conflict, and earn the trust of others. This session explores how to strengthen and position these often-overlooked skills as professional assets that can increase your visibility, leadership opportunities, and earning power.

Cities and economic development agencies have resources designed to help businesses grow, attract investment, activate commercial corridors, and create jobs — but many entrepreneurs and professionals don't know what opportunities exist or how to access them. This session pulls back the curtain on how local economic development works, what cities are actively looking to support, and how businesses, entrepreneurs, and investors can better position themselves to participate.

Building wealth is one milestone; deciding what that wealth will accomplish is another. This session explores how successful professionals, business owners, and investors can intentionally use the wealth they've built to provide for the next generation, support the causes and institutions they care about, and create an impact that extends beyond their lifetime.

The professionals who advance into leadership don't just understand their function — they understand the business. This session helps professionals strengthen their business and financial acumen by learning how their company makes money, how to interpret a P&L, and how to connect their ideas and decisions to revenue, costs, profitability, and business priorities.

A strong network is only valuable if you know how to activate it. This session explores how to turn existing relationships into clients, introductions, partnerships, deal flow, and career opportunities — without making every interaction feel transactional.

A promising property does not automatically make a profitable investment. This session breaks down how a real estate opportunity moves from acquisition to financing, development, and return—and the financial, legal, and regulatory decisions that determine whether the deal moves forward.

Being great at what you do is not enough if the right people do not know you exist. This session explores how professionals, executives, and entrepreneurs can translate their expertise into a recognizable personal brand that attracts opportunities from speaking engagements and media features to clients, partnerships, and new revenue streams.

Starting a business isn’t the only path to ownership. This session breaks down the tradeoffs between starting, buying, or franchising a business to help aspiring and existing entrepreneurs determine which ownership strategy best fits their capital, experience, risk tolerance, and goals.

Private markets can feel inaccessible because the pathways into them are rarely obvious. This session demystifies the ecosystem of angel investing, LP investing, venture capital, private equity, SPVs, and fund management and shows professionals how people move from investing their own capital to participating in—and eventually managing—capital on behalf of others.

Enjoy our snack bar and refreshments as we close out the conference.
