The Oxford Africa Conference promises to deliver a richer understanding for individuals interested in issues facing African societies in a global context. Participants will get the chance to spend two days immersing themselves in experiences that range anywhere from hearing L’Oreal’s insights on consumer segments in East Africa to the role of artists in African public spaces, to governance challenges in Uganda, to the cultural impact of contemporary Sino-African relations. The conference will take place on May 23rd at the Saïd Business School and May 24th at the historic buildings of the Oxford Union.
The experience is a must for those interested in networking with like-minded individuals and luminaries in their specific fields of expertise. Our Gala Dinner on Saturday evening, hosted at Wadham College, is one such opportunity. Share a meal with Hakeem Belo-Osagie, Chairman of Etisalat Nigeria, as you become part of Africa’s transformation. This event is not to be missed.
