“Hard Beat Communi-cations pioneered the very first presentation of a Green Energy forum at the Caribbean Tourism Organization’s STC 13 in Guyana and I was very impressed at the profes-sionalism of the panelists and the moderator and the entire panel. It was truly a great event on a topic that needs to be more focused on in the Caribbean region that is filled with so many natural resources and al-ternative energy sources.”
Tony Fiddy, President WTE Division Naanovo Group
“ICN 2013 was impactful for me as you have an opportunity to meet with Finance Ministers and senior government officials from various Caribbean nations in an intimate setting.
