Africa Day 2007 - Overview:

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

This year’s conference, “The African Century: Transforming the Continent of Opportunity” aimed 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 explored four sub-themes of leadership: Vision, Execution, Integrity & Governance and Sustainability & Succession.
