The Caribbean Hospitality Industry Exchange Forum (CHIEF) is the premier educational and networking event for hospitality and tourism professionals in the region. CHIEF brings together hotel and tourism executives, emerging leaders, suppliers, and educators to exchange ideas, build meaningful industry relationships, discover practical solutions, and prepare their businesses for the future of Caribbean tourism.

Over 2.5 days, attendees engage in dynamic general sessions, practical breakout discussions, and CHIEF Talks—short, high-impact presentations from industry leaders. The Exchange Hub connects delegates directly with solution providers offering innovations in operations, sustainability, technology, guest experience, and more.

Networking is at the heart of CHIEF. From informal conversations over coffee to structured Speed Networking sessions, you’ll meet peers, partners, and potential collaborators who share your vision for strengthening business performance, building resilience, and navigating a rapidly changing tourism landscape. 

CHIEF isn’t just a conference—it’s where value connections are forged, and innovative solutions and fresh perspectives are shared on the future of the Caribbean hospitality and tourism industry.
