Haiti Tech Summit- Launches The Tourism Ecosystem Collective- Summit attendees can now book hotels within 30 minutes of event venue

[June 8, 2018 Port Au Prince, Haiti] – Haiti Tech Summit- a 13 year initiative to accelerate economic development via tech is back for its second year. In its first year, the summit welcomed 100 global speakers and 500 participants. For its second year the program will welcome 750 participants. Due to demand, the summit’s hotel package offerings at Royal Decameron sold out as of June 1st. Instead of focusing on just local sales for the remaining summit seats, the organization is now tapping into the local hotels to further encourage more international tourism flow into the country- further solidifying its role in accelerating economic development within the tourism sector.

To do this, summit attendees can now book hotels within 30 minutes of event venue once spots fill up at Royal Decameron. Similar to the large economic impact of international events like SXSW in Austin Texas, USA or Web Summit in Lisbon, Portugal- events that drive thousands of internationals into a city- Haiti Tech Summit aims to repeat the same success over the next few years. Expansion to hotels in Port au Prince and other main cities will be made each year.

While partnership agreements are not completely final, the organization is soft launching its recommendation of the top 3 hotels that are available for booking. Tickets to access the event on June 21-23, 2018 are here.

[Port- au – Prince, Haiti- June 5, 2018] Haiti Tech Summit, founded by Forbes 30 Under 30 Entrepreneur, Mother and Wife, Christine Souffrant Ntim, is a 13- year initiative of the Global Startup Ecosystem (GSE) which brings together hundreds of entrepreneurs, investors, digital marketers and creatives together to Haiti to accelerate tech, innovation and economic development within the country.

The summit generated over 83 million social media impressions, 87 global press mentions and welcomed over 500 guests for 2 historic days tuning it into the region’s largest tech gathering and Haiti’s first major international global summit.

Hosting an event of this magnitude in Haiti not only aims to revitalize economic activity in the country but to also provide a new narrative for Haiti and emerging markets. “Haiti is not open for business. Haiti is open for disruption” Christine Ntim (Founder).

Companies represented last year included Silicon Valley giants such as Google, Facebook, Uber, Airbnb, Facebook, Paypal, Mastercard, Linkedin, Github, Dropbox, Sendgrid, Youtube, and Adobe.

Furthermore, the president of Haiti announced the country’s first national incubator for entrepreneurs to be located in the nation’s capital- Port Au Prince. The incubator- Alpha Haiti- launched in the first week of June.

The summit will return on June 21-23, 2018 at Royal Decameron with all major networks featured in 2017 and has already announced leading partners and sponsors such as the US Embassy of Haiti and Intuit. More lead sponsors and partners to be announced.

Jack also serves on the Board of The Walt Disney Company. Jack Dorsey will be speaking at the summit to discuss his experiences launching and scaling two globally recognized tech startups that both aim to “simplify complexity’- Twitter via communication and Square via financial inclusion.

Ce qui inclut un « Laboratoire d’Entrepreneuriat », les points forts des “Femmes d’influence” mondiales, des idées approfondies sur les technologies de pointe telles que l’intelligence artificielle, la réalité virtuelle et d’importantes discussions sur les tendances futures de diverses industries telles que l’agriculture, les transports et les soins de santé.

L’équipe dynamique derrière cet événement très attendu a modifié son organisation afin de mieux embrasser les principaux aspects de l’expérience du Sommet. L’un des principaux changements dans l’équipe est Christine Souffrant Ntim, fondatrice du Sommet, qui nomme Naisha Silva en tant que directrice générale de l’événement.

Actuellement, Naisha occupe le poste de gestionnaire de projet à Google et supervise les initiatives qui stimulent les pratiques novatrices d’embauche de Google. « Je suis reconnaissant de travailler avec une équipe aussi talentueuse et passionnée et je suis ravie de montrer au monde ce que nous avons en réserve pour 2018 », explique Silva.
