Columbia University’s 9th Annual African Economic Forum Kicks into Gear Tomorrow

The 9^th Annual African Economic Forum will officially begin tomorrow and it promises to be a two day event filled with a lot of inspiration, retrospection and celebration.

The theme of the forum which is being navigated by Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs, Business School and Law School and Mailman School of Public Health, is Africa Reclaiming Africa: Changing the Rules of Engagement.

MyTrendyBuzz is proud and honored to be selected as one of the media outlets helping to spread the word about the upcoming activities that will once again help revitalize and rejuvenate the growing interest in all things AFRICA.

This year’s main goal is to focus on the booming trend of Africans realizing their full potential and wanting to fuel their passion and tenacity in ways that will ultimately be for the betterment of their community and country as a whole.

It’s certainly the dawn of a new era, and its refreshing to witness the infectious pride Africans are now experiencing. The continent is seemingly at the cusp of positive global recognition and economic independence thanks to intricate teamwork that seems to be weaving its way across the Diaspora.

At this year’s conference, the featured speakers are a range of impressive trailblazers who have each contributed immensely to this exploding revolution. A particularly distinguished guest will be Nigeria’s Central Bank Governor, Mr. Lamido Sanusi, whose brilliant mind garnered him a victory over the crippling financial crisis back in 2009. He was bestowed the 2011 TIME 100 Award as one of the most influential individuals in the world.

The event will begin tomorrow and conclude with the standard evening gala on Saturday night. This will be an excellent opportunity to be surrounded by forward thinkers, movers and shakers and exceptional individuals all coming together to fuel enlightenment and advancement. It will be the ultimate networking paradise!
