Official reservation guideArrive
Map the exact Las Américas Convention Center complex gate, credential collection and security queue. Confirm entry, vaccination or health, insurance, weather and regional safety requirements from current official guidance before departure.
Official transport guideBudget
Do not infer a current price from an old edition. Confirm the exact COP or USD product and fees, then add refundable lodging, two payment methods, venue transport, food, mobile data, insurance and schedule-change exposure.
Handle the crowds
Expect A large credentialed crowd of executives, public officials, telecom and technology suppliers, consultants and buyers. Build an objective-led schedule and protect security, hall, meal and return-transport margin.
Bring the family
Confirm age, identity, credential, re-entry and companion rules for the exact product. A public-facing layer does not make trade floors, scientific sessions or professional forums family-accessible.
Official family guidanceAccessibility
Request the exact curb-to-seat or curb-to-stand step-free route, accessible toilet, companion, captioning and interpretation support from the organizer and venue; do not infer temporary-event access from permanent-site claims.
Official accessibility guideSite rulesUse only the final organizer and venue list. Do not assume luggage, samples, outside food, professional cameras, tripods, drones, recording equipment, batteries or trade materials are permitted.Check the official safety guidance
Where to stay
Choose lodging around the hardest fixed movement, not a generic luxury ranking. Booking.com and Tripadvisor evidence was checked August 13, 2026; every choice clears the score floor and includes a material limitation.
Immediate venue district
Best for: Early credentials and lowest movement risk
Tradeoff: Highest event-period prices and limited city context
Named business or transit corridor
Best for: Stronger hotel choice with a repeatable fixed route
Tradeoff: Every session still needs traffic and queue margin
Historic or leisure district
Best for: Off-hours atmosphere after the fixed program
Tradeoff: Usually the highest daily movement risk

Bocagrande
Hyatt Regency Cartagena

Hotel ratings move over time. We check at least two independent sources and include a drawback, but you should still read recent reviews before paying.
How to use Cartagena beyond the event
ANDICOM uses the Las Américas complex in La Boquilla, not the historic center or Bocagrande. Fix the congress campus first, then add city time around coastal road conditions.
One exact restaurant
Reserve the named venue, state allergies and verify current hours, price and the return route.
One contextual city block
Add a museum, public space or neighborhood only after the fixed program and travel time are protected.
A real recovery window
Keep one block for sleep, hydration, device charging, badge preparation and unplanned delay.
