Why Arnold Schwarzenegger Is Coming to the Caribbean

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - November 25, 2016

Hollywood superstar and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is coming to Grand Cayman.

The movie legend will keynote the upcoming Cayman Alternative Investment Summit, set for Feb. 15-17 at the new Kimpton Seafire Resort and Spa on Seven Mile Beach.

The annual non-profit event offers a forum for 400-plus executives to address the alternative investment industry’s opportunities and challenges.

He will be joined at the major Caribbean summit by speakers including astronauts Mark and Scott Kelly; Virgin Galactic CEO George Whitesides; former Navy General Mike Abrashoff and Irish economist David McWilliams.

“We are excited to have such a diverse lineup of speakers at our upcoming event,” said Chris Duggan, Director of CAIS and VP of Community Development for event sponsor, Dart. “We believe it’s important to hear viewpoints from outside the alternative investment industry, and this collection of influential voices provides attendees with an opportunity to learn about everything from the commercial space race to military tactics to entrepreneurship.”
