CHANGE OF DATE FOR NYFA
The NYFA will now take place on August 28-30 2015 in Libreville, Gabon under the High Patronage of H.E. Ali Bongo Ondimba, President of the Gabonese Republic.
The dates have been changed to coincide with Gabon’s hosting of the 14th AGOA Forum, the first time this Forum has ever been held in Central Africa. AGOA (African Growth and Opportunity Act) was signed into law by President Clinton to expand and deepen trade and investment relations between Sub-Saharan Africa and the United States, and encourage economic growth and development.
The two global events will be held together to capitalize on the presence and reach of thousands of economic and business leaders who will be together in Libreville for days of discussion and debate, positioning Gabon as the gate to Africa.
Richard Attias, Founder of the New York Forum, said: “This will really increase the scope of discussions at the NYFA, giving us access to an unprecedented level of US public sector officials and CEOs, while delivering the quality of content for which the NYFA has become known in its three editions to date.”
