GTR Africa Trade & Infrastructure Finance Conference 2016
Park Plaza Victoria, London
Global Trade Review (GTR) returned to London on October 5-6 for its second instalment of the GTR Africa Trade & Infrastructure Finance Conference 2016.
Building on the wealth of African expertise present in London and emphasising an innovative approach to the standard conference format, the conference provided practical ‘how-to’ guidance and maximum audience interaction throughout a range of high-level debates, onstage roundtables and interviews, in-depth case studies and classroom-style breakouts, giving delegates the chance to have their say and get involved with timely discussions.
“This year’s event is hugely well timed in providing the opportunity to reflect on a momentous last 12 months in African trade and also in the UK trade landscape,” says Jeff Ando, Head of Conference Production at GTR. “The diverse characteristics and trade dynamics of a continent spanning over 50 countries brings with unrivalled opportunities, particularly with ongoing efforts to plug the ‘infrastructure gap’. Furthermore, with the recent Brexit referendum we are likely to see increased focus on the Commonwealth from UK companies, with Africa likely to be one of the most popular export destinations.”
Dedicated networking breaks provided ample opportunities for attendees to meet with the market’s primary decision makers, giving delegates the chance to become re-acquainted with old contacts and foster new working relationships with those keen to do business across Africa.
