The Africa Club at London Business School is delighted to announce its 12th Annual Africa Day Conference which will take place on Saturday, 20 April 2013 at The Royal Society in London.

The theme of this year’s conference is ‘Investing for Sustainable Success’. Following on from last year’s theme of ‘Taking Ownership’, we aim to explore what is being done in Africa to ensure that success is not only achieved but also sustained.

Africa is fertile ground for innovation and its entrepreneurs and cultural agents are capitalising on this, building successful businesses that are fostering growth. Major infrastructure and energy projects are underway all across the continent, addressing deficiencies which have previously curtailed productivity. All of these investments are transforming Africa into a dynamic, competitive economic region. The conference brings together a distinguished roster of heads of government, entrepreneurs, financiers, innovators, cultural icons, and thought leaders to conduct an extensive dialogue on the requisites for sustainable success in Africa.

The conference will host distinguished speakers from a variety of backgrounds across Banking, Entrepreneurship, Energy, TMT, Private Equity, Development Finance, Entertainment and Art, including:

Wale Tinubu, CEO Oando Plc.
Alex Okosi, CEO MTV Africa
Alain Ebobisse, Director of Global Infrastructure, International Finance Corporation (IFC)
Leo Reif, Head of Investment Banking, Credit Suisse South Africa
