GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands – Premier Hon. Alden McLaughlin recently returned from a three-day technology conference where he addressed an audience of more than 30 CEOs of technology brands and told them the positive story of the Cayman Islands.

He and Mr. Tatum, along with the CEC representatives, also met one-on-one with high level technology brands including Oracle, Microsoft, Google, Cisco and Adobe.
