Media accreditation

The year 2012 is a milestone in Caribbean history, as it marks 50 years since the end of the West Indies Federation. It is therefore a fitting time for retrospection by the territories that opted for independence or other geo-political arrangements.

It is also an opportunity for collective examination of the future possibilities for, and direction of, territories with varying political arrangements, and of the region as a whole.

Operating under the theme Surveying the Pat, Mapping the Future, the 50-50 Conference being hosted by the University College of the Cayman Islands (UCCI) in collaboration with the University of the West Indies (Mona) seeks to bring together in an intellectually rich environment, the main thinkers and political actors from all over the region to discuss the last fifty years and consider the next fifty.

Over 600 attendees will represent a cross-section of local and international business leaders; government officials; university students; education professionals and consultants; members of academic communities in the Caribbean, the US and the UK; and representatives of local professional associations.

We are also very positive that our very socially conscious local communities will be very ably represented.

One of the many highlights of this year’s conference is the keynote lecture to be given by Sir Ronald Sanders, international consultant, writer and former senior Caribbean Ambassador, whose career includes many impressive political and diplomatic assignments globally.
