"Congratulations on the 3rd Africa CEO Forum! We particularly enjoyed the high quality of discussion and the caliber of delegates attending the forum. We were able to use the visibility and presence of our stand to network at a very high level."

"A high-level event that continues to improve year on year. The quality of discussion and networking opportunities are hugely valuable for expanding the private sector in Africa in conjunction with the public sector.

Congratulations to the entire AFRICA CEO FORUM team!"

"2015 was our third AFRICA CEO FORUM, so we've been able to see this Forum evolve from strength to strength every year as a result of the high quality of its delegates and the rich diversity of its discussion. It is also an essential platform for meeting senior executives and company principals from every part of our continent."

Georges Chung Chairman, Kross Border "KrossBorder has been present since the beginning, as a sponsor for the last two editions.

The conference is the only platform where we talk about Africa’s future amongst African business leaders and those who have the most knowledge of the continent. Where else?"
