Join SoFloNOMA for Havana Nights, our opening night reception at Carousel Club to welcome you to the 55th NOMA Conference!

Whether you are attending your first NOMA Conference or returning as a longtime member, this reception offers a chance to build new relationships, reconnect with familiar faces, and celebrate the collective impact of the NOMA community.

Inspired by the tradition of all-white summer gatherings, the event embraces a distinctly South Florida interpretation of elegance, one that is sophisticated yet relaxed, polished yet approachable. We encourage guests to wear their favorite white, ivory, cream, or sand-colored attire and embrace the tropical spirit of the evening. Think linen, guayaberas, flowing dresses, Panama and Fedora hats, resort-inspired style, and business-casual flair. As the sun sets over Miami, we'll gather to celebrate the start of an exciting week of learning, leadership, mentorship, and professional growth.

South Florida is shaped by generations of Caribbean, Latin American, and multicultural influences that can be seen in our neighborhoods, experienced through our food and music, and felt in the energy of our communities.  Havana Nights en Blanc is a reflection of the diversity and cultural richness that define our region and the values that unite the NOMA community. Come dressed in white, bring your conference spirit, and prepare for an evening of unmistakable South Florida energy.

We look forward to welcoming you to Miami and kicking off an incredible week together.
