Miami’s rise as one of America’s most consequential cities continues to be shaped not only by commerce, innovation and executive leadership, but also by the cultural institutions that give the city its depth, character and soul. This year, those worlds come together as Titan 100 launches in Miami, with Florida Grand Opera proudly standing alongside the program as an official cultural partner.
The Titan 100 is a national leadership program recognizing the top 100 CEOs and C-level executives in each market. Honorees are selected for their exceptional vision, passion, influence and impact within their industries and communities. Each selected leader joins a national community of more than 2,600 Titans and is featured with a full editorial profile in the Titan 100 digital book.
The Miami Titan 100 awards ceremony and book unveiling event will be held on November 19, 2026.
Advance ticket purchases are required to attend.
For Florida Grand Opera, the partnership is deeply personal. Miami’s ascent is being built by leaders who invest in the region and by cultural organizations that elevate its identity. When business and the arts move together, a city becomes more than a market. It becomes a place with meaning.
That is the spirit behind this inaugural Miami class: a celebration of excellence in the boardroom and excellence on the stage, reinforcing one another in a city defined by ambition, creativity and global influence.
