Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get to the Cayman Islands?

The Cayman Islands are easily accessible with multiple direct flights from major U.S. cities, including New York, Charlotte, Miami, Dallas, and Atlanta, as well as connections from Canada, the UK, and other international hubs. Owen Roberts International Airport (GCM) is located in George Town, Grand Cayman—just minutes away from Seven Mile Beach where the conference will take place.

Seven Mile Beach offers a wide range of accommodation options, from luxury resorts and boutique hotels to more budget-friendly stays. We have secured a limited number of rooms at Hotel Indigo for conference attendees at a discounted rate. 

In early February, Grand Cayman enjoys warm, tropical weather with average daytime highs around 80°F (27°C) and cooler evenings in the mid-70s (23–24°C). Humidity is lower this time of year, and it’s outside the rainy season—making it one of the most pleasant times to visit the Caribbean. Light clothing is recommended, along with a jacket or sweater for breezy evenings.

For most U.S., Canadian, and European passport holders, no visa is required for short stays in the Cayman Islands. Visitors simply need a valid passport with at least six months’ validity beyond the travel date. Attendees from other regions should check entry requirements in advance.
