Congratulations to Byron Donalds and David Jolly on winning their respective party primaries for Governor of Florida.

Before Florida voters chose them as their parties’ nominees, The Economic Club of Miami had already hosted both candidates in 2025 as part of our Florida’s Economic Future series.

That speaks directly to what we aim to do at the Economic Club of Miami: take a bigger-picture, long-term view of the forces shaping Florida’s economy — and bring our members into the conversation.

Our programming brings together leaders from business, finance, law, monetary policy, public policy and beyond. We look at the economy as a whole, giving our members the opportunity to hear directly from influential leaders — and, at our mostly member-exclusive events, often meet and engage with them personally.

Our forums with Byron Donalds on May 12, 2025 and David Jolly on October 21, 2025, followed that model: substantive, interview-style conversations about Florida’s future, followed by questions directly from our members.

Both conversations can be viewed on the Economic Club of Miami’s YouTube channel (link in bio)

So, who are the next leaders shaping Florida’s Economic Future? Join the Economic Club of Miami and find out: econclubmiami.org/membership/

On September 22, the Economic Club of Miami will host David Blumberg.

Founder and managing partner of Blumberg Capital, David has partnered with visionary founders from inception through exit since 1991 — with early investments in industry leaders like Addepar, Braze, DoubleVerify, Nutanix, and Trulioo. Israeli-founded companies make up roughly a third of his firm’s portfolio.

Before venture, his path ran through the Bronfman Family Office, Apax Partners, T. Rowe Price, and Check Point Software — with degrees from Harvard and Stanford along the way. A leader of the 2020 tech exodus to Miami, he’s helped make our city a global innovation hub, backing institutions from the University of Miami to Achieve Miami.

Coffee with the Club! While we typically don’t host major speaking events in the summer, we still find ways to bring our members together — over coffee ☕️ with the club.

We’ve gathered at Pasion del Cielo Coffee and Casa Tua Cucina in Brickell, at PURA VIDA MIAMI in Coconut Grove, and Graziano's Group in Coral Gables. Members also take home a collectible ECOM mug.

These are some of the less advertised but informal and very fulfilling benefits of being a member of the Economic Club of Miami. A great way to quickly plug into Miami’s diverse professional network — no matter where in Miami you are!

🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸

Today, we celebrate 250 years of American independence and the enduring ideals that have inspired generations: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

The Declaration of Independence did more than establish a new nation—it proclaimed a revolutionary idea: that free people, empowered by liberty and equal opportunity, can build extraordinary lives and flourishing communities.

Here in Miami, we see that promise renewed every day. Our city has become a destination for entrepreneurs, innovators, investors, and families from across America and around the world who come here to pursue their own American Dream. Their energy, ambition, and belief in freedom continue to shape one of the most dynamic economies in the world.

As we commemorate America 250 (1776–2026), we honor the courage and sacrifice of our Founders, who pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor so that future generations could live in freedom.

From all of us at the Economic Club of Miami, we wish you and your family a joyful, meaningful, and patriotic Independence Day.

Happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸🎆

What does it take to transform a city into a global hub for innovation, entrepreneurship, and investment?

At the 2026 Miami Economic Forum, held on February 27, 2026, the Economic Club of Miami was proud to present the inaugural Miami Economic Leadership Award to former Miami Mayor Francis X. Suarez in recognition of his leadership during one of the most consequential periods in Miami’s history.

During his eight years as mayor, Miami lowered taxes, reduced homicides to near-historic lows, attracted billions in investment, and emerged as one of the world’s leading destinations for entrepreneurs, technology companies, and global talent.

Following the award presentation, Mayor Suarez joined
Jack Abraham, Founder and Managing Partner of Atomic, for a wide-ranging fireside chat on Miami’s evolution, the future of technology and artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship, education, transportation, and what comes next for our city.

Among the topics discussed:
🔵 The story behind the famous “How Can I Help?” tweet that helped ignite Miami’s tech boom
🔵 How Miami attracted innovators, investors, and business leaders from around the world
🔵 Why economic freedom, low taxes, and responsive government matter
🔵 The future of AI, education, and workforce development
🔵 Miami’s potential to become a global center for capital formation, entrepreneurship, and innovation
🔵 Lessons learned from Mayor Suarez’s presidential campaign
🔵 The opportunities and challenges that accompany Miami’s rapid growth

As Mayor Suarez noted during the discussion, Miami’s story is still being written. The question now is not whether Miami has arrived—but how far it can go.

Thank you to Francis Suarez for his service to our community and to Jack Abraham for leading an insightful conversation about the future of Miami and America.

What an incredible evening with Judge Roy Altman at our latest Economic Club of Miami private dinner series.

Judge Altman brought an amazing combination of knowledge, passion, humility, and dynamism to the table. Over nearly three hours, we discussed everything from his family’s immigration from Venezuela to Miami, his journey from becoming a U.S. citizen to eventually becoming the youngest-ever U.S. District Court Judge in South Florida, and his deep appreciation for the opportunity America has provided him.

The centerpiece of the conversation was his new New York Times bestselling book, *Israel on Trial*. But this book is about much more than Israel. It is also a rediscovery of the American legal tradition — a reminder that facts, evidence, and sound methodology matter when evaluating the important issues of our time.

Every guest left with a personally signed copy of the book. But we left with much more than that.

We left with pride in our community.

Judge Altman grew up here in Miami, played high school football here, went on to play football at Columbia University, graduated from Yale Law School, and now serves on the federal bench. His story is a reminder that Miami doesn’t just attract talent — it helps develop it.

As America approaches its 250th birthday, evenings like this remind us that great communities help shape great leaders.

One of our longest-standing members summed it up best:

“Excellent dinner. Judge Altman was impressive. One of the most engaging speakers we have had.”

Thank you, Judge Altman, for an unforgettable evening.

Last month, the Economic Club of Miami welcomed former University of Miami men’s basketball coach Jim Larrañaga for a powerful conversation on leadership, resilience, teamwork, and overcoming obstacles.

In conversation with Economic Club of Miami Board Member Alex Binelo, Coach Larrañaga reflected on his remarkable journey — from coaching his first team at age 14, to leading both George Mason and the University of Miami to historic Final Four appearances.

The discussion explored the importance of building culture, creating a clear vision, maintaining discipline, and leading through change — lessons that apply far beyond basketball.

We were grateful to have Coach Larrañaga share his insights with our members and guests, and to Alex Binelo for guiding such a thoughtful conversation.
