Hey guys sorry I have not blogged recently below is all the information you need for the upcoming conference! 

The purpose of this conference is to address the different aspects of the business that is Africa. Though this is a vast topic, the aim of the conference is to start a dialogue between different disciplines on the impacts of business in the continent. Business can be defined loosely, and presentations will cover a variety of topics, such as technology, African business development, mobile phones and local gov-ernment accountability, railway policies, Nigerian and other African films, music and more. There will also be a film screening of Darwin’s Nightmare.
