ACCA Accelerate Conference Recently, the ACCA organised the ACCA Accelerate Conference, which saw the participation of 500 students from 14 participating public and private universities. During this conference, participants benefited from a range of activities that were focused on improving both soft and hard skills. The event highlighted exercises that strengthened cognitive thinking skills, challenged their ability to work in teams and helped to improve their communication skills.
Journey Towards an Accelerated Growth Central to the conference was the theme “The Journey of Hercules”, where participants underwent a series of intriguing and yet provocative activities such as The Ancient Ball challenge, Tribal Wars, Minds of the Gods and Balance of Hercules. Needless to say, the activities were devised to challenge the physical and mental capabilities of the participants. In addition, participants were also given the chance to extend their professional network.
