In the sun-drenched playground of Miami Beach, where sport, style, and music collide, Olivia Ormos stands as a powerhouse event producer, orchestrating one of the most captivating cultural celebrations — Model Volleyball. For over 16 years, Olivia has elevated this beach volleyball tournament into a cutting-edge fusion of athleticism and entertainment, turning the sands into a stage for elites and fans alike.

A Journey of Innovation and Spectacle

Since founding Model Volleyball in 2010, Olivia has masterfully guided the event’s evolution, culminating in the groundbreaking 16th anniversary in April 2026. This edition didn’t just mark another year—it revolutionized the experience, transforming 9th Street and Ocean Front into a vibrant two-day extravaganza. Combining spirited daytime volleyball battles with pulsating nighttime open-air electronic dance music (EDM) fiestas, the event thrilled over 20,000 passionate attendees and sparked more than half a billion social interactions.

From Sunrise Serves to Nighttime Beats

Olivia’s innovative approach seamlessly blends competition with celebration. The 2026 festival features rigorous co-ed volleyball tournaments, involving more than 250 players drawn from the top 10 Miami modeling agencies such as Wilhelmina, Elite, and Ford. Amid the athletic contests, a spectacular music lineup of 20 internationally acclaimed DJs—including renowned artists like CamelPhat and Prospa—keeps the energy soaring well into the night, transforming the beach into a vast, sand-covered dance floor from late afternoon until 11PM.

Crafting an Elevated Experience

Beyond just the games and music, Olivia orchestrates every element meticulously—from ticketing strategies with platforms like Dice.fm to VIP packages and meaningful partnerships such as supporting the Kindness is Cool charity through ticket revenue. Through these efforts, the event has expanded from a local Miami highlight to a global sensation, attracting celebrities like Travis Scott and Joe Jonas while inspiring a successful expansion to Los Angeles in 2018.
