ABOUT CONFERENCE
Since the launch of the annual Carib News Business Conference 27 years ago, the world has experienced life-altering changes. Significant, rapid, and impactful innovations have been seen in technology, politics, global demographics, world system integration, climate change and, of course, public health.
Distinguished guest speakers will include Global Private Sector Industry Thought Leaders and Innovators, Prime Ministers, Presidents, members of the US Congress, members of the UK Parliament, and Cultural Ambassadors, all of whom are impacting meaningful collaboration and leading game-changing efforts in the frontier markets. Ambassador Andrew Young calls it the “Golden Triangle” of people of color: Africa, the Caribbean, and the United States.
Considered the Davos of the Region and re-envisioned for maximum impact, this once again in-person event will bring together the emerging and brightest minds at the forefront of elevating and executing global change, and will draw on the deep experience of legacy leaders who have paved the way for progress across sectors and regions of the diaspora.
OUR MISSION
The Future Happens Here. Our Mission is to connect the Diasporic world by bringing together the most influential leaders who are bridging gaps and having high impact results through connections, partnerships, and ventures. Our purpose and mission are more vital than ever in the face of threats to our democracies that could further widen disparities and inequities already inherent in existing socio-economic gap.

ABOUT SANDALS
Four Decades of Love, Luxury & Looking Forward
For forty years, the story of Sandals Resorts has been one of unbridled passion that began in 1981 with the dream of one man, Gordon “Butch” Stewart, to create the world’s best vacation for people simply vacationing…Through the years, he set out to elevate the all-inclusive experience by including things others would never dream of. Today, that story is best told by the thousands of people who have made some of their most beautiful and treasured memories there and by the extraordinary people and places of the Caribbean whose warmth and genuine hospitality continue to surpass every expectation of care and comfort.
