TIC 2026 — Where the Caribbean Does Business
The Trade & Investment Convention returns 9–11 July 2026 to the Centre of Excellence, Tunapuna — bringing buyers from 35+ countries to Trinidad, the Caribbean's largest economy. Hosted by the Trinidad & Tobago Manufacturers' Association (TTMA), TIC is the region's premier multi-sectoral B2B trade show. TradeAtlas is where those relationships continue the other 362 days of the year.

About the Trade & Investment Convention
TIC's mandate is straightforward: foster intra- and extra-regional trade for Caribbean businesses. The convention takes place at the crossroads of the Americas in Trinidad & Tobago, the region's financial capital and largest economy — giving exhibitors direct access to buyers representing more than 35 countries.
TIC is multi-sectoral: manufacturing, agri-processing, packaging, ICT, energy, creative industries, and professional services all share the floor. The result is a unique environment where a Guyanese distributor can source packaging from a St. Lucian converter, or a European buyer can meet a Jamaican rum blender and a Trinidadian software house in the same afternoon.
