Experience Club US launches its 2026 calendar, blending innovation, global business and signature events

Experience Club US launches its 2026 calendar, blending innovation, global business and signature events.

Experience Club US has officially unveiled its 2026 calendar, presenting its most comprehensive and ambitious program to date. The new agenda brings together signature experiences, strategic forums and international missions, reinforcing the Club’s position as a global platform for executives, investors and business leaders operating at the center of today’s evolving economy.

The year officially opens with the Members Kick-Off, in February 26th, at The Moore in Miami, but the first major international milestone of the calendar takes place a few days later, with the fourth consecutive Experience Club US Mission to South by Southwest (SXSW) in Austin, Texas, from March 11 to 17. SXSW is globally recognized as the leading festival for innovation, technology, creativity and culture, and has become a cornerstone of the Club’s value proposition, combining institutional access to the event with private meetings, curated experiences and high-level networking.

Over the past four years, the SXSW Mission has established itself as one of the Club’s most strategic platforms, positioning members at the forefront of global conversations about the future of business, technology, and society.

New forums expand Experience Club US’s strategic footprint in 2026

The 2026 calendar also marks a significant expansion of the Club’s reach into new strategic domains, with the launch of three new flagship events focused on longevity, wealth, luxury and long-term leadership.

Among the highlights is the Miami 2030 Leaders Forum, taking place in November, designed to position Experience Club US as a key convening platform for conversations about Miami’s future as a global hub for business, innovation and impact. The forum will bring together public-sector leaders, investors, entrepreneurs and experts to explore topics such as urban development, technology, sustainability, infrastructure and economic growth.

Another major addition is the Longevity Forum, scheduled for September, dedicated to one of the fastest-growing sectors worldwide: health, biotechnology, personalized medicine and quality of life. The event — in partnership with the Miami Downtown Development Authority (Miami DDA), which has recently become a supporter and member of the Club — will connect physicians, researchers, investors and founders working at the intersection of science, technology and wellness.

The Wealth & Luxury Summit, taking place in August at the iconic Colony Hotel in Palm Beach, will bring together family offices, wealth managers, investors and premium brands to discuss global trends in capital, alternative assets, lifestyle and the future of luxury.

“The 2026 calendar reflects the maturity of Experience Club US as a platform that goes far beyond events,” explains Marcelo Goulart, CEO of Experience Club US. “We are building an ecosystem of experiences, insights and relationships that mirrors the major transformations taking place across the global economy, technology, healthcare and capital”.

Sports, hospitality and global events take center stage

Sports will play a larger role than ever in the 2026 Experience Club US agenda, as the Club continues to leverage major global competitions as high-impact platforms for relationships, brand positioning and premium experiences.

In March, the Club hosts its annual Miami Open Experience, leveraging one of the world’s most prestigious tennis tournaments as a gateway to high-level hospitality, networking and business development.

The centerpiece of the year, however, will be the FIFA World Cup 2026, taking place from June 11 to July 19, when the United States, Canada, and Mexico host the largest World Cup in history, with 48 national teams competing for the sport’s most coveted title. Miami will serve as one of the host cities, staging seven matches, including games featuring Brazil, Colombia, Uruguay and Portugal in the first round, as well as a quarterfinal match and the third-place playoff.

Throughout the tournament, Experience Club US will activate its Soccer Boulevard, a series of curated experiences and gatherings designed to position Miami as one of the epicenters of global football in the United States — a strategy that aligns with the city’s growing role in the sport, driven by MLS expansion, international investment and the global spotlight brought by the World Cup.

A year-round platform for networking, insight and connection

Beyond global forums and major sporting events, the 2026 calendar reinforces Experience Club US’s core mission: to provide a year-round platform for meaningful connections, thought leadership and access to strategic environments.

In April, during Miami Tech Week, members are immersed in South Florida’s fast-growing startup, venture capital, and technology ecosystem. In May, the traditional NYC Lunch – Person of the Year at The Plaza brings the Club’s community into the heart of New York’s financial and investment circles.

Later in the year, two signature events strengthen the Club’s relational core: Members & Wine @ The Moore in October, a more intimate networking experience centered around wine and conversation, and the Experience Club ArtWeek Dinner in December, held during Miami Art Week, when the city becomes a global capital for art, culture, and the creative economy.

“From SXSW and Miami Tech Week to our more exclusive gatherings like Members & Wine and the ArtWeek Dinner, the Experience Club US calendar is designed to connect people, ideas and opportunities in the environments where meaningful business actually happens,” says Experience Club US partner Flavio Pripas.
