The Chamber of Commerce is launching a new business event called Cayshop. Always looking to improve our events and programmes we have taken a long and hard look at the Business Expo and decided after 20 years it is in need of a face lift and injection of innovation!

Booths will continue to be sold to members but new exhibitor categories have been added to accommodate smaller businesses and cottage industries. This means that local artisans and small business owners that could not previously participate will be welcomed into the new Cayshop showcase under their special category of registration.

“We are excited and inspired about our new plans to expand into Cayshop. For us this is not just an event it is a mantra! We want to place extra emphasis on buying locally and supporting our own economy first. More than an excellent opportunity to showcase local products and services it is a way for local businesses to gauge their supply and demand by connecting with their customers, testing out new products, and displaying the full gamut of their available product lines,” Wil Pineau CCE, Chamber CEO.

The Chamber wishes to establish a new and exciting shopping event for the Cayman Islands which supports the snappy new tagline of “Spend it Local!”Along with its participating members, the Chamber aims to bring new life to Cayman’s largest shopping mall. The focus will be on new items never before available in the Cayman Islands as well as special offers from exhibitors not available at any other time of year!

In support of the new look and feel CayShop will be held at the new location of The Arc in Camana Bay which will allow for a better use of space and the opportunity to hold some exciting evening events. The dates this year will be October 25 – 27 which is the perfect opportunity for the unveiling of many new products and gift ideas for the run-up to the Christmas season.

Businesses who wish to find out more information about how they can sign-up for this premier business event can contact the Chamber’s Membership Relations Coordinator [email protected]  or Event Manager [email protected].

It should also be noted that for the month of August businesses who sign-up will receive an Early Bird Special discount price!
