San Juan Nights

1. Undergraduate Schools
2. Graduate Schools
3. Corporate Caribbean

A two-night finale held in the Grand Ballroom at the Hilton El San Juan Hotel and Casino.

Each year, San Juan Nights attracts the largest group of prospective undergraduate and graduate students to the Hilton El San Juan Hotel and Casino International Ballroom. The 11,040 sq. ft. Ballroom provides a unique and sophisticated ambiance conducive to a clientele of thousands of ambitious latino students and motivated admissions staff. San Juan Nights allows a personalized one-on-one communication between universities and students creating a forum for personal interaction.

Due to the overwhelming success of San Juan Nights over the past 25 years, AutopistaAmericas receives unparalleled support from the media, Chamber of Commerce, school districts and families on the island.

Each night the fair runs from 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm in the Grand Ballroom. Graduate and undergraduate schools, sponsors and companies take part in this popular annual event on the island. Each participant is given a 10' x 10' booth space (with additional space optional) to display banners, posters and other promotional material. Participants may also order A/V equipment for their booth space. These orders go through our office.

Many universities opt to choose PRIMARY EXHIBIT SPACE which allows for more space and better coverage during The San Juan Nights. Please contact Autopista Americas for more details.

Private Receptions

Private receptions are the best investments you can make in Puerto Rico. The private receptions allow you to direct your focus to a particular group of students so that you maycater to their unique interests, talents and concerns.

When a student from Puerto Rico is personally invited by a university to attend a reception, it is an honor. They come.

Two years ago, one of our clients put on a reception for the first time in 5 years. Over 100 students and their parents attended and 29 of those students have enrolled to date at that particular university. They had a second reception this past year and over 175 students attended.

A private reception is the best investment you can make in Puerto Rico. You may schedule a private reception during any free time spot during the two weeks of the tour. It is recommended that you hold your receptions on the weekends or after 5 pm on the weekdays during the second week (this gives you a chance to make contacts with students and families during the first week).
