BUSINESS SOCIAL

Tech Beach Retreat (TBR), the premier summit bridging the Caribbean tech ecosystem with major global technology hubs, recently hosted a pre-social event at S Hotel in New Kingston. This gathering served as a prelude to the main event set to take place in Montego Bay, December 4-6. The evening was marked by elegance and camaraderie as business leaders and entrepreneurs convened to connect and celebrate ahead of the flagship event.

“Our goal is to open doors that accelerate the growth of your business by fostering connections with international counterparts on an equal footing,” expressed co-founder Kirk-Anthony Hamilton about the mission of TBR. Christopher Brown from Development Bank of Jamaica (DBJ), a long-standing partner, urged attendees to take time to acknowledge their community members and strengthen relationships within the tech space. The rest of the evening was spent fostering these connections, with
Business Social present to capture the highlights.
