NEW YORK – April 8, 2026 – Unplugged Collective is bringing Unplugged en Miami, a multi-day dedicated hub for industry dialogue, networking and live content throughout the POSSIBLE Marketing Conference & Expo conference from April 27-29 in Miami.
As an official morePossible satellite partner (a program by Portrait Media Group and POSSIBLE), Unplugged en Miami will be hosted at Fontainebleau Miami Beach and Miami Pool House, anchored by CTRL+ALT+Culture and Cannesversations thought-leadership platforms.
“The businesses in this industry don’t build relationships. The people inside them do. Unplugged was built around that truth, designing experiences that speak to the person first, because when you earn their attention and their trust, the business outcomes follow,” said Mike Richter, Co-Founder and CEO, Unplugged Collective. “POSSIBLE brings together an extraordinary concentration of the people, ideas, and energy shaping this industry, and there is no better stage for what we build. We are showing up to Miami with everything we’ve got.”
Unplugged en Miami brings together more than 35 speakers across a full slate of programming spanning culture, identity, sport, gaming, attention, and fandom. Headlining the week is CTRL+ALT+Culture, a platform built around the industry’s most important voices and changemakers, alongside a new creator economy pop-up called The Reset, a private commerce media lunch with Mastercard, and the Innovation Workshop, where startups pitch directly to brand decision-makers.
At the center of it all is the Unplugged Studio, a live content hub for executive interviews, podcast recordings, and real-time industry dialogue, including Cannesversations, an original interview series produced in partnership with The Marketeer Group. Discussions include:
