About Course
This is an in-person event. The room that keeps selling out is back — and this time, we’re pulling up more chairs at the table. Join us for an afternoon of real leadership insight, high-energy networking, and the signature Sip & Speak experience that T&T professionals can’t stop talking about.
Sip & Speak Social is back — and June 13th is our boldest edition yet.
This isn’t a conference. It’s not a workshop. It’s not your average networking happy hour. It’s an afternoon where the right people get in a room, real conversations happen, and you leave with sharper insight, stronger connections, and the kind of energy that stays with you long after the last sip.
🎟 In-Person Event 📍 Cascadia Hotel, St. Ann’s, Trinidad 🗓 Saturday, June 13, 2026 🕓 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM 👥 limited seats
Dress Code: Caribbean Business Chic Think polished, purposeful, and with personality. This is a prestige room — dress the part, but make it yours. Past attendees have always brought their style A-game and we expect nothing less for June 13th.
WHAT’S NEW: THE LEADERSHIP PANEL
For the first time, Sip & Speak Social features The Leadership Panel — a dynamic, moderated conversation with multiple voices at the table: senior executives, founders, and leaders who’ve navigated the rooms most of us are still trying to get into.
This isn’t a lecture. It’s a real conversation — and you get a front-row seat. Expect candid insight on executive presence, leading under pressure, communicating with authority, and what it really takes to command a room at the highest level.
WHAT HAPPENS IN THE ROOM
🎤 Keynote — Samantha J. Best A signature talk on executive presence and high-stakes communication, drawing on 24+ years of broadcast experience. Practical, punchy, and immediately applicable.
🪑 The Leadership Panel A moderated panel of accomplished leaders in real conversation — not polished talking points. Honest, high-value insight you won’t find in a training manual.
🌐 Structured Networking Purposeful, guided — and actually fun. Past attendees consistently say the networking at Sip & Speak is unlike anything else on the T&T professional calendar. You’ll leave with real connections, not just business cards.
🎁 Giveaways & Raffle Prizes Past editions have sent guests home very happy. That’s all we’ll say.
🎉 Surprises — because it wouldn’t be Sip & Speak without a few.
WHO’S IN THE ROOM
Previous editions have welcomed members of the diplomatic corps, senior government and public-sector representatives, C-suite executives, entrepreneurs, founders, and regional business leaders. This is a curated room — and there’s a reason it sells out every time.

“Classy, entertaining, and the networking portion was definitely the cherry on top. I had a great time and would attend the next Sip & Speak.” — Rochelle E., Past Attendee
