Brand Africa Forum 2011

The Brand Africa FORUM™ is a 1-day platform for pan-African, disaporan and global thought leaders, influencers and decision makers to interact, share insights and proactively drive the agenda for issues, ideas and opportunities that are a catalyst for Africa’s growth, reputation and competitiveness.

The Brand Africa FORUM™ 2011 will focus on key questions which are catalytic to Africa’s growth, reputation and competitiveness:

How can South Africa leverage its membership to BRIC to raise Africa’s voice and influence African economic investment and growth beyond 7%?

What market-driven interventions and policies can African nations learn from other BRIC nations to transform Africa’s economy?

How can savvy global African business and brands inspire and empower other African brands to grow beyond financial services, FMCG and telecommunications?

Are many African businesses looking to African expansion ahead of global development? If so, what are the implications of looking inward rather than internationally?

What type of leadership is be required to build an enabling environment and systems to inspire growth, investment and innovation in Africa?

The Brand Africa FORUM 2011 will feature globally respected decision makers and thought leaders, including Dr. Dambisa Moyo, global best seller of How The West Was Lost, who’s returning to Brand Africa for the second year to share perspectives on how Africa can avoid the same pitfalls as the West.
