The event – which took an interactive nine-hour outside broadcast format – featured discussions on matters of trade, strengthening diaspora connections, commerce, and investment. It was broadcast to audiences in Jamaica and the New York tri-state area via a simulcast with The Bridge 99 FM New York-based sister station IRIE Jam Radio, 93.5 FM – WVIP.
