The Caribbean-Central American Action (CCAA) is hosting the 35th Annual Conference on the Caribbean and Central America from November 30 to December 2, 2011, at the Louisiana Marriott in New Orleans, Louisiana. This conference is the premiere trade and policy forum for the countries of the Caribbean Basin.
Description: For over three decades Caribbean Central American Action (CCAA) has been synonymous with the annual “Miami Conference,” but in 2011 the conference will move to New Orleans, Louisiana. Recently, the City of New Orleans has been viewed through the lens of disaster, but as everyone from the Caribbean knows, out of disaster comes renewal. The city’s business community, long associated with the traditional industries of shipping, tourism and oil, is increasingly being joined by an entrepreneurial class that is leading growth in areas such as green technology, finance, and communications.
The CCAA Conference, co-hosted by the World Trade Center of New Orleans, in partnership with the Louisiana Committee of 100 for Economic Development, Inc. and other local and national organizations will focus on the important issues of trade, investment, and jobs. New Orleans, a city that has been described as the “northernmost city of the Caribbean” and that is home to a vibrant Central American Diaspora, is the perfect host for the CCAA Conference.
