Attendees can look forward to conscious beauty lounges, the designer marketplace “splash,” industry receptions and luncheons, impact panels featuring industry experts, exclusive parties, pop-up shops, networking events, and Hammock Trade Show, all set against the stunning backdrop of the Miami coastline. The venues hosting these exclusive activations will include SLS South Beach, National Hotel, Queen Miami Beach, Hyde Beach, Salvaje Miami, and Seaspice, among others.
