    📍 The catalogue lists Port of Spain, but CTU announcements and contemporary reports place the 14th CIGF (21\u201323 May 2018) at the Torarica Hotel in Paramaribo, Suriname. Port of Spain is the CTU's headquarters city \u2014 a likely source of confusion; no record of a 2018 staging in Port of Spain was found<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
