Wharton Africa Business Forum 2015 – Shaping Africa’s Story
The Wharton Africa Business Forum (WABF) is the world’s longest running student-organized Africa-focused conference. This year marks its 23rd annual conference – which will be held at the University of Pennsylvania and the historic Loews Hotel in downtown Philadelphia on 13th-15th November, 2015.
With this year’s theme, “My Africa Story: Lessons in business, visions for impact”, WABF will be a platform for present and emerging leaders in business, entrepreneurship and social enterprise to provide deep insights into their areas of expertise by sharing their unique experiences doing business, starting ventures and creating impact in Africa. Through these stories, WABF aims to highlight the unique challenges present, showcase the massive opportunities that exist and provide case studies of impact creation in Africa to inspire a vision and path for the continent’s future.
If you are seriously considering doing business in Africa, be sure to not miss this conference. Its focus will be on supporting the next generation of leaders in Africa work to realize their visions, by drawing upon vital lessons, successes and failures of those before us.
The conference boasts a selection of impressive speakers, including:
- Hakeem Belo-Osagie – Chairman, Etisalat Nigeria
- Mosunmola Abudu – Founder, EbonyLife TV
- Colin Coleman – Managing Partner, Goldman Sachs, Sub-Saharan Africa
- Anna Bossman – Director of Integrity and Anti-Corruption Division, African Development Bank Group
