Nearly 100 professionals from South Florida’s luxury industry gathered on Thursday, June 25, 2026 at Lasso Gaucho Brazilian Steakhousein Fort Lauderdale for another successful Cocktails, Connections & Celebrations, presented by Luxury Network and Luxury Guide.

The evening celebrated the relationships that continue to strengthen South Florida’s luxury marketplace while recognizing the exceptional interior designers who served on our Quarter 2 Designers Choice Award™ Curatorial Panel.

Throughout the evening, guests enjoyed an atmosphere designed to encourage authentic conversations, strategic introductions, and new business relationships among professionals representing interior design, luxury home products, construction, architecture, real estate, hospitality, and other luxury lifestyle industries.
