Building the Future: The Intersection of Culture, Capital & Innovation
Saturday night during F1 Miami, the most interesting people in tech, culture and capital are gathering for dinner. You found it.
BAG Ventures and Dream Machine Innovation Lab are hosting a curated room of leaders — investors, founders, executives and cultural architects — for an intimate evening of real conversation at Shiso, one of Miami's most celebrated restaurants.
Chef Raheem Sealey is behind the kitchen. Hennessy is offering specialty cocktails. Red Bull is on site to give us energy to make it through the night. All food and drinks are covered.
No panels. No pitching. No presentations. Just the right people in the right room with time and space to actually connect.
This is a private, invite-only gathering. Attendance is limited and confirmed by invitation only.
If you're here, you belong here. Come ready to build.
