GROS ISLET, SAINT LUCIA — April 29, 2026 — For the past nine years, the Caribbean Association of Banks Inc. (CAB) has convened its CEO & Director Forum in Miami—shaping dialogue, strengthening partnerships, and advancing the regional banking agenda. In its tenth year, CAB makes a deliberate pivot. A purposeful move to Panama. This is more than a change of venue. It is a signal of transformation—reflecting a sector that must evolve in real time by strengthening governance, embracing digital acceleration, repositioning for resilience, and unlocking new pathways for growth and profitability. Against this backdrop, CAB will convene the 10th Anniversary Caribbean Association of Banks CEO & Director Forum on June 12–13, 2026, at the Residence Inn Panama City by Marriott, under the theme: “Leadership at the Edge: Governing Caribbean Banks in an Era of Constant Volatility.” The CEO & Director Forum is CAB’s principal executive‑level leadership convening, bringing together chief executive officers, board directors, managing directors, regulators, and senior leaders across its membership ecosystem. Over two days of high‑level dialogue, participants will engage on the critical issues reshaping Caribbean banking—governance, geopolitics, innovation, risk management, and strategic leadership. Forum discussions will address evolving regulatory expectations, geopolitical uncertainty, correspondent banking pressures, digital transformation, cybersecurity, climate‑related risk, and the strategic implications of emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence. Designed specifically for executive leadership within CAB’s membership, the Forum emphasizes practical insight, policy awareness, capacity building, and peer exchange. The CEO & Director Forum was established in 2016 in response to the region‑wide contraction of Correspondent Banking Relationships (CBRs), which disproportionately affected Caribbean banks. Recognizing the need for coordinated leadership engagement during a period of heightened international scrutiny, increased costs, and restricted market access, CAB created a platform for collective strategic response. Over the past decade, the Forum has evolved into a cornerstone leadership initiative for the Association’s members. “As the Forum enters its second decade, it continues to play a vital role in strengthening leadership capacity and collaboration across our membership—ensuring Caribbean banks are better equipped to navigate constant change with confidence and clarity,” said Ms. Wendy Delmar, Chief Executive Officer of the Caribbean Association of Banks. Panama—an international financial hub symbolizing connection, expansion, and strategic reach—provides an executive‑grade setting that supports meaningful engagement, relationship building, and forward‑looking dialogue. It is from Panama that CAB and its members step boldly into the next decade of leadership in Caribbean banking.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
