About the Conference

The US-Africa Business Conference is our attempt to bridge the needs of US and African businesses and help build and strengthen relationships between the two.

This year though, we are going beyond just a conference. We want to give you the whole experience, the entire hands on approach to help you build those relationships. Because that's how businesses work - by meshing theory with practice. So after the lecture and networking series, on June 9 and 10 we will have a series of company tours that may interest you.

Conference Host

The Conference host is Worcester Polytechnic Institute, a leading university in science, management, technology, and global education. They are holding this conference in collaboration with the United States Department of Education's Business and International Education Division, and the Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce.

Books for Africa

Please help our friends in Africa by donating used textbooks. Books maybe dropped off at the university on the day of the conference. Read more about this progam at the Books for Africa website.
