On Saturday, 26 May 2007, the Africa Club at London Business School will host its 6th annual Africa Day Conference at City Hall. The conference supports the School's vision to be the pre-eminent global business school, by bringing together some of the best minds and practitioners in African business to help inspire a socio-economic renaissance in Africa.

This year’s conference “The African Century: Transforming the Continent of Opportunity” aims to: promote sustainable business opportunities in Africa, inspire participants to transformational roles in business and the public sector, challenge current leadership perspectives and empower participants with the experiences of transformational leaders from within and outside the continent. This theme is built around our belief that leadership is the key requirement for achieving major performance improvements in Africa and African organisations.

The conference will also explore four sub-themes of leadership:

• Vision
• Execution
• Integrity & Governance
• Sustainability & Succession

Speakers Include:

• Ambassador Valentine Rugwabiza (WTO Director)
• Mr. Colin Coleman (Managing Director, Goldman Sachs)
• Dr. Cecelia Ibru (CEO, Oceanic Bank)
• Mr. Joe Ghartey (Attorney General, Ghana)
• Mr. Kofi Amegashie (Business Strategy and Planning Director, Coca-Cola)
