Miami After Dark: A Black-Tie Evening With the City's Business Elite
The Miami Business Club's Annual Charity Gala fills the Miami Beach Convention Center on October 10 — founders, investors and operators in black tie, and a city that is only getting started when dinner ends.
Why This Evening Matters
Miami's business community has never been larger or more concentrated than it is now — funds relocated from New York, founders who arrived for a winter and stayed, family offices, operators and the people who advise them. On October 10, a great deal of that community gathers in one room: the Miami Business Club's Annual Charity Gala at the Miami Beach Convention Center. Cocktail reception, seated dinner, awards, entertainment, and the kind of networking that only happens when everyone is in black tie and no one is in a hurry.
If you are in Miami that week for business, this is the evening that decides how the trip is remembered.
Make a Weekend of It
Stay on the beach. The Setai, the Faena, the Edition or the Four Seasons at the Surf Club all put you within minutes of the Convention Center and within reach of the real Miami evening. Dinner before or after is a matter of mood — Carbone or Cote for a room with energy, Papi Steak when the table wants to be seen, Mandolin Aegean Bistro in the Design District when it wants to be quiet.
After the gala, Miami Beach does what it does: a late drink at the Sugar rooftop or the Broken Shaker, LIV or Story if the night wants to become morning, or a private table and a bottle back at the hotel.
Better With Extraordinary Company
A black-tie business gala is a long evening of introductions, and there is nothing quite like arriving with someone who makes every one of them easier. Divine Dating Co. arranges introductions to South Florida Angels who carry themselves beautifully in a formal room — polished, warm, genuinely engaging — and who make the hours afterward feel like the reason you came.
We provide companionship and social entertainment only; admission to the gala is arranged through the Miami Business Club.
Who Is in Miami
South Florida is home to more of our Angels than any other market, and Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach are treated as one. The Angels shown here reflect current availability — locally based, currently touring, or available by advance arrangement. Tell the concierge the night and we will suggest who is right for it.
