In 2026, The Miami News will host a landmark two-day global summit on Zoom, spotlighting leadership across AI, arts, entertainment, finance, and health. The world is listening—will you speak?
The Miami News, a premier voice in global journalism, is set to host the inaugural Leadership Circle in 2026—a live, two-day virtual summit convening thought leaders from around the world to share powerful ideas across five major fields: artificial intelligence, the arts and entertainment, finance, and health. And now, the publication is issuing a global call for speakers to join the stage.
The event, scheduled to be held via Zoom, will feature a curated series of panels and keynote conversations with some of the most influential men and women shaping the future. From technologists redefining the boundaries of AI to artists reclaiming cultural narratives, the Leadership Circle aims to blend innovation with insight, elevating voices that matter.
“We envisioned the Leadership Circle as a platform for the world’s boldest thinkers,” said Deneen White, Editor of The Miami News. “It’s not just about prestige; it’s about purpose. We are seeking individuals who have something essential to say.”
Sir Michael Fomkin, founder of The Miami News, emphasized the event’s transformative potential: “This is more than a summit—it’s a global movement. We are building a stage where courageous leadership meets compelling storytelling. We want visionaries who aren’t afraid to challenge norms and lead with heart.”
There is no fee to participate as a speaker. Instead, The Miami News is emphasizing value: each applicant must bring a clear, compelling message, rooted in experience and relevance. The event will not be a marketing pitch parade but a forum of genuine dialogue and thought leadership.
Panel tracks include:
- Artificial Intelligence: From ethics to applications
- Arts & Entertainment: Culture, creativity, and identity
- Finance: The future of money, equity, and innovation
- Health: Global well-being, technology, and human-centered care
Confirmed speakers include pioneering AI developers, Oscar-winning directors, economic strategists, and leading voices in global health equity. Speaker slots remain open for those who can bring new perspectives, especially from underrepresented communities and global regions.
“We want to make sure this stage reflects the world we live in,” White added. “This is a summit for the future—and the future is diverse.”
Interested speakers are invited to email editor@themiaminews.com with a short biography, proposed topic, and what value they aim to bring to a global audience. Selected participants will receive professional support, media exposure, and access to a dynamic international network of peers and pioneers.
As The Miami News prepares to convene global minds for its first-ever Leadership Circle, the message is clear: this is your moment to shape tomorrow’s conversation. Speak up, bring value, and take your place on a stage built for change.
