Info: Tracing the Latin American influences embedded in Miami's built environment. Miami's architectural identity is inseparable from the cultures that have shaped it. From the streets of Little Havana to the towers of Brickell, Latin American influences are woven into the city's architecture, interiors, and everyday rituals.
Join architect Hugo Mijares and interior designer Ana Moreno for a conversation examining how migration, heritage, and cultural traditions have shaped Miami's built environment. From the spaces we inhabit to the ways we gather and entertain, explore how culture becomes architecture, how identity informs design, and whether a city can ever truly separate the two. Moderated by Cindy Aviles, Interior Designer, Blue by Cindy

Info: Why the Human Eye Still Rules Design in the Age of AI. Artificial intelligence can generate a beautiful room in seconds. But can it recognize extraordinary craftsmanship, cultivate a trusted network of artisans, or develop the instincts that define great design?
Join celebrated AD100 designer Corey Damen Jenkins in conversation with Marla Mullen, Co-Chair of Nantucket by Design, for a provocative discussion about what technology can create and what it cannot replace. From the power of personal relationships and industry connections to the discerning eye that separates imitation from originality, explore why taste, experience, and human connection remain design's most valuable assets.
Because while algorithms can generate aesthetics, they can't manufacture taste.

Info: CUT FROM THE SAME CLOTH: The Enduring Dialogue Between Fashion & Interiors. Fashion and interiors have always shared more than an aesthetic. From the couture ateliers of Paris to the great decorating houses, the two disciplines have traded ideas, challenged conventions, and shaped our understanding of style for generations. Prints migrate from garments to walls, textiles transcend their original purpose, and the boundaries between what we wear and where we live continue to dissolve.
Join Heidi Carey for a conversation exploring this creative exchange, from the influence of fashion history on interiors to the power of pattern, proportion, and personal expression. Because whether dressing a person or a room, the most compelling design begins with a distinct point of view.

Info: Who gets the first word in great design? The architect who defines the structure, the interior designer who shapes how we live, or the landscape designer who connects it all to the surroundings?
Join celebrated landscape designer Fernando Wong, architect Elizabeth Graziolo, and interior designer Krista Watterworth Alterman for a spirited debate about where great design begins, how creative priorities collide, and why the best spaces emerge when all three disciplines find common ground.
Moderated by television personality and interior designer Alena Capra.
