Brussels (BE), September 2014 - It is with great disappointment that EFMD, GBSN, and GIMPA have to announce that the 2014 Africa Conference has been moved from Ghana to Barcelona, Spain due to the ongoing and tragic crisis surrounding the Ebola virus.
The President of Ghana issued a three-month moratorium on international conferences, and there are rising concerns among our member schools about the Ebola crisis, so the decision to move location had to be made.
Since the new venue for the conference will be Barcelona, Spain, the organizers hope that their members who were not planning to travel to Ghana, but still have an interest in business education in Africa, see this as an opportunity to participate in engaging discussions with a very international audience. The Conference program will keep a strong focus on Africa.
The Conference will take place on the initially planned dates of 04-05 November 2014, with the GBSN Members Meeting and EFMD Accreditation seminar 03 November 2014. Even though the Conference location will change, the program will keep a strong focus on Africa with the same agenda, and we look forward to engaging discussions with a very international audience.
Early-bird registration has been extended through 30 September, and new hotel information will be posted to the website soon.
