This island has endured many struggles, but today there is the promise of a new and exciting future for Grand Bahama.”

The first Tech Summit will lay the foundation for establishing Grand Bahama as a Tech Hub for The Bahamas. The summit boasts an impressive list of speakers, including tech innovators and IT developers from Google, Microsoft, Hewlett Packard and others; the conclave runs November 9-10.
PM Minnis said: “We are pleased to play host to this distinguished gathering of some of the finest minds in technology. Indeed your meetings over the next two days will be instrumental in the strategic planning process of promoting the information, communication and technology industry.”
