#NextGen Creators is a creator-first platform built to connect, educate, and elevate the next generation of digital talent, founders, and brands shaping culture today.
Founded by Sebastian and Vale Genta, NextGen Creators exists beyond any single event. Through summits, conversations, curated experiences, and brand collaborations, we create space for creators to learn, build real relationships, and turn influence into long-term opportunity.
Our third event takes place on March 6, 2026 at the Miami Design District, bringing the NextGen community together for a focused, high-impact Spring Session. The day will feature a headline fireside conversation with Gary Vaynerchuk, additional creator and industry-led panels, and a curated Taste of Miami Design District lunch experience.
Designed for creators who are serious about growth and brands who understand where culture is headed, this Spring Session is a moment to connect, learn, and build momentum — within a platform that continues well beyond one day.Whether you’re a content creator (or aspiring to be one), a brand looking to connect with fresh talent, or someone passionate about the creator economy, this is the event you can’t miss.

Panel 2 - 20 Years of Gary Vee: Lessons, Shifts, and What’s Next
For over two decades, Gary Vaynerchuk has been shaping how brands, creators, and entrepreneurs think about attention, community, and the internet. In this special NextGen session, we take a look back at the evolution of Gary Vee’s career, from early e-commerce and email marketing to social media, Web3, and the creator economy as we know it today. This panel will unpack the strategies, mindset shifts, and hard-earned lessons from 20 years of building, investing, and staying ahead of cultural change. It’s not about trends for the sake of trends, but about understanding how to adapt, stay relevant, and build real momentum in an ever-changing digital landscape. If you’re building a brand, a platform, or a career online, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
