October Conference: DOING BUSINESS IN AFRICA

DOING BUSINESS IN AFRICA: a conference at VCU sponsored by VFoM
October 4-7, 2017 held at Virginia Commonwealth University 

A joint venture of the 8th Africa Business and Entrepreneurship & 14th Makerere Leadership and Entrepreneurship Conference, together with the 23rd VCU Business Forum.

Co-Chairmen are Professor Van Wood of the VCU Business School, and Professor Patricia Cummins of the VCU School of World Sturies. VFoM’s President Ana Edwards, and Vice-President Robin Poulton, are members of the conference Organizing Committee.

Dr Poulton’s company EPES Mandala Consulting Ltd will be one of the conference sponsors, together with Universal, Conrad Hilton Foundation and others.

Dr Peter Laugharn, President of the Conrad Hilton Foundation, a]has very generously agreed to fund the participation of the Ségou delegation at the conference. We expect that 10 or 12 Malians will attend, as well as a large number of Ivoirians and other African business experts. We therefore hope that US Consular officers will be generous in allowing our African friends to attend!

VFoM will host and organize a party-cum-AGM on the Friday, 6th October. It will be attended by the Chargé d’Affaires in Washington, His Excellency Mr Mohammed Al Moustapha Cissé, as well as the Governor of Ségou, the mayor of Ségou and the Rector of the University of Ségou..
