There is a new regional platform for businesses to showcase their products and services.
This latest addition to the landscape was launched on Tuesday in Port of Spain.
Businesswoman and representative for Beyond the Blueprint, Gabriel Ferreira, said the trade show will bring together home, design, travel, lifestyle and much more.
This comes as she shared some of the details of the region’s latest trade show at Tuesday’s launch.
“Together these elements are intended to create a richer experience, one that brings together ideas, people and industry in meaningful ways, creating a platform for exchange and engagement, designed not only to inspire conversation but to generate partnerships, open markets and support real business outcomes.”
Ms. Ferreira said the trade show will provide a curated platform for innovators, creators and industry leaders to shape modern Caribbean living.
“The academy is conceived as a layered programme of industry-led discussions, panels and round tables, covering finance, real estate, design, construction, sustainability and energy. Some of these conversations will be embedded within the exhibition itself, hosted across the pavilions as open forums and living discussions, allowing ideas to connect directly with products, projects and innovation on display.”
She noted that there will also be closed-door forums, professional exchanges, business-to-business engagements and much more.
Meanwhile, representative of Media Life Productions, Christine Ferreira, said the response to the trade show is promising.
“We have started going out to the other islands, Barbados and Colombia, trying to tell people about what we are doing and I believe because Barbados is also a place where we’ve done a similar event many years ago, they were very receptive and everybody just jumped on and it really encouraged us.”
Beyond the Blueprint will be held at the Centre of Excellence in Macoya from October 29 to November 1, 2026.
