The two-day conference offers global networking and a collaborative learning experience. The conference features exceptional programming and an impressive lineup of speakers that will provide a better understanding of the political, economic, demographic and social drivers of Africa's future growth.
Topics include:
- legal aspects of corporate strategy and operations in Africa;
- market opportunities in industry sectors;
- Africa's legal frameworks (national and regional);
- implications for investment terms; and
