Why Marrakech?

Marrakech, the heart of culture and history, offers an inspiring setting for our conference. With its stunning landscapes, rich heritage, and dynamic atmosphere, Marrakech will not only be our meeting point but also a source of inspiration for all attendees.

What to Expect?

Marrakech is beautiful. The conference program is also beautiful and will focus on: the increasing regionalization of the network, generating more referral business within the EMEA region, insightful keynote speakers, interest group meetings and the best social events you will ever experience to facilitate relationship building.

Insightful Keynotes: Hear from thought leaders, experts and TGS Regional Leaders who are shaping the future of our industry in Africa, Europe and the Middle East.

Interactive Workshops: hands-on sessions that will enhance your skills, deepen your knowledge, broaden your service offerings and reinforce your TGS friendships.

Networking Opportunities and Culture: Connect with peers, mentors, and potential collaborators in a variety of stimulating settings. Have you ever had exclusive access to the Yves Saint Laurent garden in Marrakech? No? You have now.

“For many years, the Jardin Majorelle has provided me with an endless source of inspiration, and I have often dreamt of its unique colours.” Yves Saint Laurent.

Doing more TGS Business in and with Africa

Working in Africa presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities for CPA firms and international businesses, shaped by the continent’s diverse economic landscapes, regulatory environments, and market dynamics.

How can our professional service firms minimize problems facing business in the African continent?

• Regulatory Complexity,

• Political and Economic Instability,

• Infrastructure Gaps,

• Access to Finance,

• Corruption,

• Transparency and the (also a problem for many countries) Skilled Workforce Shortage.

…and how do we build on the opportunities available?

• Africa is experiencing Rapid Economic Growth,

• Africa has Emerging Markets and Consumer Base,

• explosive Digital Transformation,

• massive Resource Richness,

• increasing Regional Integration (like the African Continental Free Trade Area) and

• Sustainable Development.

TGS have started to paint Africa orange and we are looking forward to getting you all involved with the task.
