The Africa Family Business Summit (AFBS)

The first Africa Family Business Summit (AFBS) will be held on Friday June 24th 2022, at the Kempinski Hotel, Gold Coast City, Accra with Dr Russell Thackeray being one of the speakers.

The aim of the AFBS is to bring together family business practioners and help them to build a network that will allow them to share information and insights amongst themselves. The audience will be made up of family business owners and senior management, the next generations of their families and other key stakeholders in family businesses.

Africa is often seen as becoming the powerhouse of the global economy over the next few years and family businesses are at the heart of African culture. The Summit provides the opportunity not just to think about individual businesses but also to collaborate, initially across Ghana and then across Africa.

The majority of businesses in Africa are family run so it is important to build a network for this powerful group of businesses. This years event is being held in Ghana but in 2023 it’ll be in Nigeria and after that there are plans to take it to Kenya, South Africa, Botswana and beyond.

There will be two sessions. The Afternoon Session will run between 1 pm and 4 pm and will be in a workshop format that Dr Thackeray will lead on building personal resilience and the toolkits needed to facilitate this. The Evening Session will allow wider networking and focus more on organisational resilience with key speakers on the theme of  “Building Resilience in Family Businesses for Continuity”. This session will run between 5.30 pm and 9 pm.

The AFBS is a hybrid conference with virtual and face to face attendance. For more information visit the website www.ravensconsulting.com Alternatively  call or WhatsApp + 233 241 379 084
