On an itinerant basis in different cities of the region, the Forum's face-to-face meeting is held every two years for 3 days. The CILAC Forum is “the hub” of science in Latin America and the Caribbean, constituting a regional platform to debate how to strengthen and implement effective science, technology and innovation (STI) policies in line with the Sustainable Development Goals of the Agenda 2030.
CILAC es un Foro Abierto que representa un movimiento permanente para el diálogo y la cooperación entre actores, el intercambio de experiencias, la definición de estrategias y el seguimiento de acciones en el campo de la ciencia, la tecnología y la innovación, en América Latina y el Caribe.

The in-person Forum is a unique event of its kind, in which a central Forum is held with more than 60 sessions with personalities from all over the world, parallel events - such as workshops and talks related to the topics of interest of the Forum -, and cultural and social activities linked to CTI in the city. The programming also includes the exhibition of posters, installation of institutional stands and technical visits for interested participants.
Adicionalmente, CILAC se mantiene como plataforma viva entre las ediciones presenciales, llevando a cabo encuentros virtuales, convocatorias, desarrollando policy brief, entre otros contenidos de interés. CILAC conecta futuros investigadores con científicos de primer nivel, emprendedores jóvenes con líderes de empresas y corporaciones, visionarios e innovadores con decisores políticos, artistas, diseñadores, inventores e ingenieros, periodistas científicos y centros de divulgación científica.
