ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE – EXPO ON AFRICA
Innovation And Sustainable Development
Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel
The International Annual Conference – Expo held on November 8, 2017 at Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel was the most significant annual development strategy event for members and partners of Allied African Nations Chamber of Commerce (AANCC),
interested in doing business with Africa.
Participants met one-on-one with each other to discuss potential future business and development projects in Africa. Networking on assessment and implementation strategies in Africa was another important aspect of the Conference – Expo 2017, with respect to direct investments and financing. It also was the opportunity to share their experiences, to learn from one another and to debate the future development of connections in Africa.
The conference – Expo brought together invited Representatives from many of the 36 Founding members of AANCC from countries across Africa to attend the event. The pinnacle point was the special discussion panel with our speakers including the World Bank – MIGA, the U.S. Federal Agencies, President and Executives of American Corporations, members and partners of AANCC to provide an opportunity for questions and answers.
