Get involved

You don't have to run an event to be part of the week.

Two ways in that cost nothing but your time: take a stage in a host city, or help make one of the rooms happen.

Speak

Take a stage.

Year one ran on 35+ speakers across ten cities. For 2027 we want founders, operators, investors, researchers and creators with a point of view, not a company pitch.

  • Keynotes, panels and fireside conversations
  • Workshops, demos and technical deep dives
  • Live podcast recordings and founder dinners
Submit a speaker profile
Volunteer

Join the crew.

Every room at CTW 2026 was run by volunteers. If you want to be inside the week rather than in the audience, this is the fastest way to meet everybody.

  • Registration, front of house and hospitality
  • Stage and run-of-show support
  • Photo, video and social coverage

About

Powering the rise of the global Digital Caribbean.

From February 28 – March 6, 2027, SiliconCaribe’s Caribbean Tech Week returns for its second year, bringing together the founders, creators, investors, business leaders, companies, and communities shaping the future of technology, business, and digital culture.

Across the Caribbean and its global diaspora, hosts and partners will activate in-person and virtual events that spark connections, collaboration, business, and investment.

Built on nearly two decades of ecosystem-building by SiliconCaribe — 380+ events across 35+ countries and cities, 150,000+ people connected, and US$10M+ in startup capital facilitated — Caribbean Tech Week continues a legacy that includes creating Kingston BETA, the Caribbean’s first and longest-running tech startup event series.

Let’s make Caribbean Tech Week 2027 amazing. Together!

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How does Caribbean Tech Week work?

Selected hosts and partners run their own events in their cities during the same week, 28 February to 6 March 2027. Every event goes on one official calendar, one map and one feed, and SiliconCaribe and our media partners amplify the whole week.

Who can host an event?

Community groups, universities, nonprofits, startups, accelerators, investors, businesses and governments anywhere in the English, French, Spanish and Dutch Caribbean or the diaspora. Events can be in person or virtual.

Does it cost anything to host?

Community Events and Official Event Hosts are free. Flagship Event Hosts pay a registration fee, and payment details are sent after approval. City Hubs are arranged directly with our team.

How do I attend?

Each host runs registration for their own event. The official 2027 calendar will be published on this site and shared across SiliconCaribe’s social channels. You can also subscribe for updates to see new events, cities and speakers first as they are announced.

How can my organisation partner?

We welcome sponsors on many levels: Event, Theme, Regional, City, Diaspora, and Global Headline. Email partners@siliconcaribe.com and tell us which markets and audiences matter most, and we’ll make a great partnership happen.

Can I speak or volunteer?

Yes. Submit a profile and we will match you with host cities that need speakers or crew.
