 RM Sotheby's has announced a strategic partnership with MODAEVENTs to create an all new automotive experience for late winter in South Florida. Being billed as the ultimate Automotive, Art & Design event, this inagural event will take place February 29th through March 3rd at the historic Biltmore Hotel-Coral Gables. 

This is RM Sotheby's answer to the Amelia Island Concours events being held the same weekend. 2023 was Hagerty's first full year as operator of the Amelia Island Concours. From what we've heard from other automotive media outlets is that not all was well around the campfire in Jacksonville. One noticeable difference was that RM Sotheby's, which had long been a staple at the Ritz Carlton was now holding their auction off site, and for the last time. Allowing the Hagerty owned Broad Arrow Group to move their auction in to it's place.
