The 31st Global Family Office Investment Summit hosted by Anthony Ritossa returned to Miami from May 5 to 7, gathering more than 300 investors, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders at Trump International Beach Resort in Miami. On the morning of May 6, before the opening keynote panel and the day’s discussions on venture capital, AI, healthcare, and co-investment opportunities, the room rose for the U.S. National Anthem performed by Victoria Kennedy, founder and CEO of Victorious PR.
The performance opened a day that would feature speakers from royal families, sovereign wealth funds, Blue Origin, Google, and leading family offices. For Victoria, it was the second time she had returned to Miami in the Ritossa series to open the summit in song.
Why Anthony Ritossa Keeps Calling Her Back
Anthony Ritossa has built the Global Family Office Investment Summit over the past decade into one of the most influential convenings in the family office world, with a community that delegates describe as more like a family of decision-makers than a traditional conference circuit. Curation is at the center of what Ritossa has cultivated, and that extends to how each summit opens.
The decision to bring Victoria back for a second Miami opening reflects an instinct Ritossa has shown across multiple editions: that the way a room feels at the start of an event shapes the conversations that follow. Brian Rose, founder of London Real, has described Anthony as “a true force in the world of investment and capital allocation,” noting that “his ability to bring together royal families, sovereign wealth funds, billionaire investors, and next-generation entrepreneurs from across the globe is unparalleled.”
Victoria’s National Anthem performance set a tone of presence and gravity before attendees heard from Summit. The morning continued with the day’s opening keynote on mastering venture capital investments for family offices.
A Classical Crossover Career That Travels with Her
Victoria’s performance at the 31st Summit draws on a parallel career as a classical crossover vocalist, which has taken her to some of the world’s most prestigious stages. Her credits include performances at the Vatican’s Pontifical Academy of Sciences, the UK House of Commons and Guildhall in London, the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, and the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas alongside Andrea Bocelli.
Her debut album, “My Own Way,” charted across the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and beyond, and her rendition of “O Mio Babbino Caro” reached number one on the iTunes Classical Charts within twenty-four hours of release earlier this year. Las Vegas Seven Magazine has called her work “Singing Magic,” and her career has been recognized by figures including Renee Fleming. She has opened for Enrique Iglesias at the House of Blues and performed at Forbes events in the Netherlands and Monaco.
Reflecting on her return to Miami for the 31st Summit, Victoria said, “This is my second time back in Miami opening the event. I will never tire of performing our country’s anthem. I am inspired to be invited to this fantastic event that brings together the top investors, family offices, sovereign wealth funds, and global leaders.”
That she carries both an agency leadership career and a performance career into the same room reflects a posture she has been public about across multiple appearances, including her keynote at the Davos Communications Summit earlier this year on the case for PR leaders stepping into their own spotlight rather than staying behind the scenes.
Singing for a Decade of Ritossa Curation
The 31st edition marks a decade since Ritossa launched the gathering, with the previous Miami summit producing more than $800 million in investment allocations and announcements, and the most recent Dubai edition in February drawing a record 470 delegates. The scale signals the caliber of network Ritossa has built across the series.
For Victoria, the performance also threaded into the day’s WOMAN LED panel, where she later joined Her Majesty Queen Diambi Kabatusuila of the Democratic Republic of Congo and investor and philanthropist May Liu in a conversation on how power, capital, and impact are being restructured for a new generation of leaders.
The dual contribution across both stages reflects Victoria’s own positioning over the years since founding Victorious PR, with Ritossa set to host her again at the 32nd Anniversary Edition, taking place from June 23 to 25, 2026, on the shores of Lake Como in Northern Italy. Anthony Ritossa’s instinct to bring her back signals an event built on the kind of details that delegates remember long after the panels end.
