The Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) will be hosting the 2016 STEP Caribbean Conference (CC16) in Saint Lucia this year.

STEP is a professional body that provides members with local, national and international learning and business networks.

For over 16 years, the steering committee for the STEP Caribbean Conference has been meeting to produce one of the world’s best attended and most talked about trust conferences. The STEP Caribbean region, part of the larger STEP worldwide association, is fast becoming one of the most influential and largest regions in the STEP world. For the first time ever, the former STEP worldwide chair, Helene Lewis, was from the BVI, marking a turning point for the global association.

“Not only has STEP Worldwide recognized the importance of the region in the global trust sector, but this conference has become one of the must attend events of the year," Ms. Lewis said. “Every year for the past fifteen years, we welcome the world to one of our member jurisdictions, and every year they turn up in droves for the conference.”

This year’s conference in Saint Lucia, promises to be no exception. Conference chair, Natalie Augustin said delegates will come away from the conference fully equipped to deal with the on-going turbulence of the sector on a macro scale.

“Our delegates know that they are going to be connected with senior colleagues, speakers who are clearly thought leaders in their areas of expertise, and a host of new business connections and opportunities,” Augustin said. “We look forward to welcoming the region and the world to Saint Lucia.”

The CC16 conference will be held from April 25 - 27.
