The New Codes of Wealth Take the Stage at The Colony

Experience Club US reveals the first voices joining its Palm Beach retreat on August 22–23

Wealth is being redefined. Time, health, access, experience and the ability to build something that outlasts a generation now weigh as much as accumulation itself.

On August 22–23, Experience Club will bring together a select group of leaders at The Colony, in Palm Beach, for a private conversation on the new codes of wealth, legacy and lifestyle. The retreat spans hospitality, longevity, luxury and exclusivity, examining how the priorities of affluent individuals, families and brands are changing — and what that means for the businesses built to serve them.

The first confirmed speakers bring perspectives from family wealth, hospitality, technology, architecture and consumer branding.

Lourdes Castillo is a board member of the LATAM Family Office Society and a partner specializing in tax law, with a master's degree in International Taxation from New York University School of Law. Her work centers on preserving wealth across jurisdictions and generations, placing governance and succession at the core of her contribution to the program.

Simon Sorpresi is President of Members Clubs and Hotels at WoodHouse. Over 25 years in luxury and lifestyle hospitality, he has held executive roles tied to Delano, SLS and Mondrian. He now leads private membership clubs, a hospitality model built on access, belonging and curated experience rather than scale.

Bruno Cardinali is Chief Marketing Officer of Pura Vida Miami, the wellness café and lifestyle brand entering a new phase of national expansion. He previously served as Global CMO of Oakberry and CMO of Popeyes. Scaling a brand built on wellness and design without losing its identity is the challenge he brings to the stage.

Priscila de Pinho Hawthorne spent more than two decades at Accenture, working across technology, business transformation and leadership. Her contribution addresses how longer lives and shifting expectations of work are reshaping decisions inside organizations.

Kobi Karp, a Miami-based architect, completes the initial lineup. For more than three decades, his firm has worked across hospitality, resorts, private residences and mixed-use developments, including some of South Florida's most recognizable luxury addresses. His focus: how architecture gives wealth and lifestyle physical form, and how exclusivity is expressed today through privacy and context rather than display.

The lineup points to a shared direction: hospitality growing more personal, wellness moving from aspiration to infrastructure, luxury measured by access rather than visibility.
