The event will also be live streamed, allowing a global audience to participate virtually with Satellites being held throughout the region.   The Assembly marks the next milestone for Future Caribbean, which has rapidly grown into a global AI initiative in just six weeks. Since launching its Global Open-Source Agentic AI Buildathon, the initiative has attracted nearly 700 builders, founders, investors, advisors, judges and ecosystem partners from around the world, with applications and participant recruitment continuing as judging takes place on a rolling basis. Future Caribbean is continuing to welcome founders, developers, engineers, advisors, judges and partners from around the world to join the initiative, collaborate with the growing global community and apply to build the next generation of open-source Agentic AI companies with real world impact.  Hosted at the Inter-American Development Bank Barbados Country Office, the Assembly will feature technical workshops, live demonstrations, collaborative build sessions and discussions focused on deploying AI agents to solve real-world challenges across industries including finance, energy, healthcare, tourism and climate resilience.  The event will be led by Lily Dash, Founder of Future Caribbean and Co-Founder of ACTAI Advisors, alongside Steven Echtman, Founder of ClawCamp, with special guest Ajay Yadav, The Vibe Founder on Instagram "In just a matter of weeks, we've seen incredible momentum from builders and partners who share the vision of creating the next generation of AI-native companies for and from distributed markets," said Lily Dash. "The Assembly is about turning that momentum into collaboration while continuing to grow a global community of builders. We're still actively recruiting participants from around the world, and by live streaming the Assembly and hosting satellite location around the region, its easier than ever for innovators everywhere to get involved." This technology was made for distributed markers, the Caribbean is a stark example of a distributed market, multiple currencies, legal systems, languages, regulations, this is about coordinating technologies around that distribution. If it works in the Caribbean, a complex distributed market and also one the best deployment environments for companies, it can scale globally in other distributed environments.

The Assembly builds on the ongoing Global Open-Source Agentic AI Buildathon, where applications from around the world continue to be accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis ahead of the finals at the New York Stock Exchange later this year. By connecting world-class builders, investors and institutions, both in person and online, Future Caribbean aims to establish the Caribbean as a launchpad for the next generation of open-source Agentic AI companies with global impact.
