Miami Startup Ecosystem Conference 2026, organized by 1001 VC, will celebrate its second edition as a high-impact meeting focused on founders, investors and technology leaders who are building scalable companies in the United States and international markets.
For two days, the event will bring together 250 key players in the startup ecosystem, including founders from the pre-seed stage to Series A+, active venture capitalists, corporate executives and technology leaders, at the Miami Dade College Wolfson Auditorium, located in the heart of Downtown Miami.
A high density and expansion event
Unlike massive conferences, the Miami Startup Ecosystem Conference is committed to a quality over quantity format, designed to generate deep conversations, real connections and concrete business decisions.
The proposal seeks to consolidate Miami as the “Singapore of the Americas”, connecting the capital of New York, the engineering of Silicon Valley and the talent of Latin America in the same space, avoiding the typical fragmentation of large events and optimizing the time of attendees.
Speakers with operational experience and focus on execution
The 2026 edition will have 25 speakers, all operators and investors with direct experience in building and scaling technology companies. The event deliberately avoids the “celebrity speakers” model and prioritizes profiles with real experience in startups and venture capital.
Among the participants are leaders of funds and startups from Silicon Valley, New York, Boston, Atlanta and Florida, along with executives from companies in the growth stage, creating an agenda focused on execution, go-to-market, applied artificial intelligence and capital markets, with a focus on the real challenges that founders face in 2026.
Networking designed to generate impact
Networking is one of the pillars of the event. In addition to interactive sessions with direct public participation, attendees will have access to spaces designed for informal and effective connection, such as the coffee & pastries area sponsored by JP Morgan, demo tables for startups and a Sunset Rooftop Social at the citizenM World Center Downtown Miami hotel.
The objective of the Miami Startup Ecosystem Conference 2026 is to catalyze more than US$50 million in new cross-border deal flow, strengthening Miami’s role as a strategic bridge between the United States and Latin America, and positioning the event as a key meeting point for those who are building the future of the technological ecosystem.
