SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (June 25, 2026) — As the Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association (FCCA) concludes its 2026 PAMAC Conference for Platinum Members in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, this week, attention has already shifted to the cruise industry’s next major gathering, with registration now open for the FCCA Cruise Conference and Trade Show, Oct. 12–16, in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The FCCA Cruise Conference and Trade Show is the premier cruise industry event in the Caribbean and Latin America, bringing together destinations, ports, tour operators, suppliers and other stakeholders with up to 100 senior cruise executives through a program of workshops, networking events and one-on-one meetings.
“This is the only event in the region that puts any attendee in direct contact with cruise executives that can drive business,” said Micky Arison, chairman, Carnival Corporation & plc and FCCA.
Many of the cruise industry’s top decision-makers have already confirmed their participation.
“We are proud of this event’s continued success for attendees and so many throughout the Caribbean and Latin America,” said Michele Paige, CEO, FCCA. “It has been the birthplace of everything from new tours to entire destination developments, so we are excited about what this year can bring for all.”
At the heart of the conference are one-on-one meetings between delegates and cruise executives. During the 15-minute sessions, participants can pitch products and services while receiving individualized feedback from the executives who determine where ships call, what is sold onboard, and how to invest in destinations and infrastructure. Last year’s event in San Juan featured 1,030 meeting slots.
Anyone who registers by Aug. 31 will be eligible to schedule one-on-one meetings with cruise executives. Pre-registration will remain open through Oct. 11.
