Launched in 2006, the Caribbean Arts & Entertainment EXPO is the first and only Caribbean conference dedicated to songwriting, composing, audio engineering/production, dance, and videographers.  Selling out in its inaugural year, the EXPO immediately provided a unique opportunity for songwriters, composers, publishers, producers – and those in the industry that support them – to come together in an unprecedented way to share their knowledge and expertise.

In previous years, the Expo has been held in Puerto Rico, Jamaica, and Bermuda. Due to the rapid growth in local interest/involvement in art and entertainment, the committee has proudly selected The Bahamas for it’s 2009 event. Top industry professionals will come together to share their knowledge and expertise on a broad range of topics, specific to this market and of great importance to those vying to take their product abroad.

Since its inaugural year, the EXPO has attracted more than 6,000 music creators, industry professionals, exhibitors and sponsors, and is expected to bring together another large gathering in The Bahamas this year.

The most favored elements included: shopping customized tracks/beats by the best local audio engineers; a featured Artist Representative (A&R) from Def Jam Recording, one on one sessions with videographers, photographers, graphic designers, dance agencies and the array of networking opportunities.                                                                                                               

It will take place from 8pm to 1am and will also feature “Mixologists” from Bacardi in addition to those involved in Art and Entertainment.
