Miami Tech Week: Experience Club US hosts a private SXSW briefing and executive access at eMerge Americas

As Miami Tech Week begins, Experience Club US joins the agenda with a private SXSW insights session at Mana Tech Headquarters and executive access to eMerge Americas, alongside closed-door conversations with Neil Redding and Ian Beacraft.

April 20 marks the beginning of Miami Tech Week 2026, when Miami once again becomes a concentrated meeting ground for founders, investors, executives and technology leaders from across the U.S. and Latin America. Over a few days, the city absorbs a dense flow of conferences, side events, private gatherings and strategic conversations that reinforce South Florida’s role as a business platform for innovation across the Americas.

Capital, talent, corporate interest and entrepreneurial ambition converge across the same week, turning the city into a live arena for new relationships, market signals and cross-border opportunities.

For the fourth year in a row, Experience Club joins Miami Tech Week with a private executive program designed for members seeking more than access.

The program begins on April 21 with a private SXSW 2026 Key Insights Session at Mana Tech Headquarters. The session is designed to turn SXSW’s biggest signals into sharper strategic insight for business leaders.

Among the featured speakers is Flavio Pripas and Marcelo Goulart, from Experience Club US, and Michaeljohn “M.J.” Green, from Miami DDA, whose work is closely tied to the economic development and urban projection of downtown Miami.

The evening also includes a keynote by futurist Neil Redding, founder of Redding Futures, recognized for advising organizations on how emerging technologies and behavioral shifts reshape strategy, brands and decision-making.

Inside eMerge, beyond the main stage

The program then moves into eMerge Americas on April 23 and 24, with executive access designed to bring members closer to one of the region’s main platforms for technology, investment and innovation. Held in Miami, eMerge brings together startups, corporations, investors and public-sector leaders around the forces shaping business across the Americas.

For Experience Club US members, that access comes with an added layer of proximity. In addition to VIP credentials, exclusive entry to the VIP Lounge, priority seating at the Main Stage, access to the VIP Unplugged Stage, priority access to the Opening Block Party and entry to the VIP-only Closing Beach Party, the agenda also includes a private session with Ian Beacraft after his keynote.

Beacraft, CEO of Signal and Cipher, has become one of the leading voices translating artificial intelligence into practical impact for companies and leadership teams. His work stands out for moving the AI conversation away from abstraction and into the terrain of execution, culture and competitive advantage — making the private session especially relevant for executives trying to understand how these technologies are already reshaping business decisions.

Together, the two experiences give Experience Club US a more curated place inside Miami Tech Week: first, by decoding the strongest signals coming out of SXSW; then, by entering eMerge with privileged access and a more direct conversation around AI, leadership and what comes next.
