The conference aims to strengthen the commitment and competence of Africans to do business with moral integrity. Interdisciplinary and multi-stakeholder approaches to governance, ethics and sustainable development issues on the continent will be encouraged. The programme will include thought leadership, presentations on scholarly research, cultural immersion and networking opportunities.
