Breaking News: South Florida Business & Wealth’s Apogee Awards Breaks Attendance Records

Dinner on the Diamond at LoanDepot Park closed out the magazine’s Signature Awards Season

There was a palpable sense of awe as honorees, guests and event sponsors swept from the trays of empanadas served at cocktail hour and onto LoanDepot’s emerald baseball diamond for a glittering evening of joyous speeches, JumboTron videos, photo moments and award presentations.

With presenting sponsors Amerant Bank, Scenic Group USA and Emerald Cruises filling honorary tables closest to the stage, the scene featured a well-heeled crowd listening to gracious remarks from Amerant CEO Jerry Plush (above, right) and Scenic Group’s managing director Ken Muskat (above, left). Emerald Cruises’ parent company is Scenic Group.

Apogee represents SFBW’s most exalted awards celebration, as it honors top C-suite leaders from South Florida’s key sectors, including tourism, banking, health care and media.

The 2023 event marked SFBW’s seventh Apogee Awards, and the evening was such a stunning success that several sponsors have already signed up for next year’s event. For more information, reach out to managing director Kim Sarni at ksarni@sfbwmag.com.
