Last year Chamber council members met with the Sister Islands Tourism Association (SITA) in an effort to establish a consistent and long-term partnership that will help to drive investment to Cayman Brac and Little Cayman.

 It was felt that with the support of the Chamber members, businesses could be encouraged to think of the Sister Islands as a destination for conferences, retreats, and board meetings as well as a possible home for outsourcing with internet and communications technologies at a click of a mouse.  In response to these discussions, the Brac Business Weekend was developed to connect Grand Cayman residents interested in investment and business opportunities with Cayman Brac business leaders.

Due to a very successful inaugural event we are pleased to announce the second annual Brac Business Weekend that will take place from Friday, 12 August to Sunday 14 August 2011. This is an excellent opportunity for Chamber members and the wider community to see first-hand the economic strengths and innovative possibilities available for local and overseas investors to these Islands.   

Although the event focus is a business one, The Sister Islands Tourism Association (SITA) is keen to stress that families are welcome and there will a number of fun activities planned for children including a Kids Camp on the Saturday. If you’ve never been to the Brac or it’s been awhile, it really is worth your time to attend. Items on the agenda will include a welcome party, a Trade Show, a delicious BBQ, and Island tour organised for your pleasure. The Sister Islands are very unique and have much to offer both as vacation destinations or as considerations for your business needs. Explore the opportunities available to you. Special package rates on hotels, flights and car rental to be confirmed.

The Trade Show will highlight local artisans and other businesses and organisations like SITA, Cayman Brac Heritage House, Tranquil Realty, the National Trust, Heritage Designs, Department of Commerce and Investment, ERA Realty, Carib Sands Resort, Cayman Brac Power & Light, Walton’s Mango Manor/Sea Dreams Villa, Vanderbuilt Construction, Cayman Airways, Brac Reef Beach Resort, University College of the Cayman Islands and Parrot Estates. Also on the agenda will be remarks from Deputy Premier, Honourable Julianna O’Connor-Connolly, Mr. Moses Kirkconnell, MLA and District Commissioner Mr. Ernie Scott.
