This is not your average reception.
We’re bringing a little South Florida flavor to the first night of Open House. Spread out across the Omni’s indoor and outdoor spaces, catch up with colleagues, make new connections and explore an evening built around three simple instructions: eat, drink and play.
Expect plenty to discover throughout the night:
- Watch the art of cigar rolling up close, with handmade cigars crafted during the event.
- Take home an original caricature, created live by one of our event artists.
- Feel the rhythm of South Florida with live steel drum music setting the soundtrack for the evening.
- Eat, drink and explore as you move through the party and experience Opening Night at your own pace.
Come for the party. Stay for the connections.
Opening Night sets the tone for everything ahead at Open House: time together, conversations that continue long after the session ends, and a community that knows some of the best connections happen outside the meeting room.
Join BeachesMLS and your MLS peers as we open the doors on Open House 2026 in Fort Lauderdale.
