A nonprofit community of advertising and digital media leaders across Miami and Fort Lauderdale, dedicated to digital mastery and local career growth.
Early–mid November 2026 · Date and time TBD
Featuring Nestor Perinot, CEO of Prisa Media
Magic City Media Pros emerged from a simple observation: Miami's media landscape is growing faster than the infrastructure supporting its leaders. We provide the forum for established and rising professionals to share knowledge, challenge trends, and build a lasting regional legacy.
We are a nonprofit. Every dollar from membership and sponsorship goes back into programming, venues, and career development for the Miami–Fort Lauderdale media community.
Our board represents the breadth of Miami's media ecosystem, from boutique agencies to global platforms.

Alex founded Magic City Media Pros to advocate for Miami’s media industry and foster career development among its members.

A nonprofit runs on the people who raise their hand. There are three ways in.
Adtech and media companies power our summits. Sponsorship covers the venue, food, and drinks, and puts your brand in front of the region's decision-makers.
