The 2025 CAA & PTC Annual Meeting will be held at The Boca Raton in South Florida, from Thursday, November 20 through Saturday, November 22, 2025. This meeting is a highlight of our year, and it’s where we come together as an industry to look back on our progress, talk about what’s ahead, and connect with friends and colleagues who share a deep commitment to the culture of cigars.

A Tradition of Leadership and Connection

Since 1937, the Cigar Association of America (CAA) has worked on behalf of manufacturers, importers, distributors, and suppliers to advance the industry and protect its future. The Annual Meeting has always been a focal point of that work. It’s a chance not only to handle board business and strategy, but also to take stock of where the industry stands and where it’s headed.

CAA traces its roots back to 1890, making it one of the oldest cigar trade associations in the world. Over the decades, our annual meetings have reflected key moments in the industry’s history, from battles over taxation to celebrating times of growth and innovation.

For many members, this gathering is more than a business meeting. It’s an opportunity to keep traditions alive, to share ideas, and to enjoy the camaraderie that comes naturally when people who love the cigar industry are in the same room.

Who Attends

The Annual Meeting brings together leaders from every corner of the cigar sector. Attendees include executives from the world’s largest manufacturers, family-owned distributors, importers, and a wide range of suppliers and service providers who support the industry’s success. This mix of perspectives makes the event distinctive: where else can conversations flow from federal regulatory policy to packaging design, and from market data to a shared appreciation for craftsmanship and tradition?

Why The Boca Raton

This year’s host, The Boca Raton, is more than just a venue. With its storied history, golden beach, and newly reimagined club spaces, it’s the kind of place that makes business sessions feel inspiring and evenings feel unforgettable. It’s the perfect setting for a board meeting in the morning and a relaxed conversation over a cigar at night.

The Boca Raton first opened in 1926 and has welcomed generations of leaders in business and culture. Its blend of tradition and modern amenities makes it an ideal match for an industry that values both heritage and progress.

A Highlight of the Year

We look forward to welcoming you to Boca Raton, Florida, this November for three days of conversation, connection, and collaboration. The Annual Meeting has always been about more than business – it’s about the people and the passion that make our industry strong, vibrant, and firmly established for tomorrow.
