Caribbean BETA – is the annual Caribbean Tech Entrepreneurship conference.
It’s a conference where the smartest Caribbean minds in technology, creative industries and business come to show and tell how they are using the internet, mobile and social to solve problems, create opportunities and change the world.
They come to also learn from industry pioneers and fresh faces, thought leaders and technology giants from Caribbean and around the world, plus have fun connecting to peer talent, funding and opportunities they need to launch their startups and thrive.
