ALIS DESIGN+ Expands Portfolio With ALIS DESIGN+ CALA Launch

The Premier Event Dedicated to Hotel Design, Construction, Architecture and Development in the Caribbean and Latin America

The Hotel Investment Group by Northstar, producers of global hotel investment conferences including the Americas Lodging Investment Summit (ALIS), today announced the launch of ALIS DESIGN+ CALA., The new event will exclusively focus on hotel design, construction, architecture and development throughout the Caribbean and Latin America.

The inaugural ALIS DESIGN+ CALA will take place May 13-14, 2027, at the Loews Coral Gables Hotel in Coral Gables, Florida, immediately following the existing ALIS CALA conference. Building on the success of ALIS CALA, the leading hotel investment conference serving the Caribbean and Latin America, and ALIS DESIGN+, the premier conference and trade fair connecting hotel owners, developers, investors, architects, designers, and construction professionals, ALIS DESIGN+ CALA will create a dedicated platform for the people shaping hotel projects across the region.

ALIS DESIGN+ CALA will convene owners, developers, investors, brands, architects, interior designers, project managers, construction leaders, procurement specialists, and consultants to address the opportunities and challenges influencing the hotel landscape.

The launch of ALIS DESIGN+ CALA further expands the Hotel Investment Group by Northstar's portfolio of industry-leading hotel investment, development, and design events, creating a new platform dedicated to the professionals shaping the future of hotel projects throughout the Caribbean and Latin America.

Positioned at the intersection of investment, development, design, and construction, ALIS DESIGN+ CALA is designed to connect the professionals who finance, envision, design, and deliver hotel new-builds and renovation projects. The conference will explore every stage of the process, from concept and planning through design, construction, procurement, and operations, while addressing the unique opportunities and market dynamics shaping the Caribbean and Latin American hotel sectors.

Scheduled immediately following ALIS CALA, the event will allow attendees to engage with both the investment and development communities in one location, creating a unique forum that connects capital, strategy, design, construction, and project execution. Together, the events will provide an unmatched opportunity to gain market intelligence, build strategic relationships, and advance hotel projects throughout the region. Through thought-leadership programming, networking opportunities, and peer-to-peer discussions, participants will connect with decision-makers actively shaping the next generation of hotel development.

"ALIS DESIGN+ CALA represents the natural evolution of our commitment to serving the hotel industry across the Caribbean and Latin America," said Michelle Finn, VP, Design & Construction Products and Services, ALIS DESIGN+. "As investment and development activity continue to grow throughout the region, there is an increasing need for a dedicated forum that brings together the professionals responsible for envisioning, designing, building, and making hotel projects come to life. ALIS DESIGN+ CALA will create a highly focused environment where meaningful connections, practical insights, and new business opportunities can help accelerate the next generation of hotel development."
