The uniqueness of the conference lies in the topic areas that have been lined up for delegates. Most often at such conferences, delegates are fired up by motivational speakers but to operate in today’s difficult business environment, business owners and entrepreneurs need more than motivation to survive.” International speakers and local experts will address over 100 Managing Directors, Executive Directors, CEOs, Business Owners, Business Development Managers on all key areas of business including but not limited to business plans, accessing capital, business law, accounting, marketing, sales, customer service, human resource management, etc. Some key speakers include Dr Daniel Quaye who is Coordinator of the University of Ghana Business School; Jeanine Bowen, Vice Chair, Ghana-South Chamber of Commerce; Matthew Boadu Adjei, Founder of Oasis Capital; Douglas Oppong, Founder of Angel Finance (UK); Kojo Amissah, Lead Executive of Commonwealth Institute of Technology and Management and many other reputable speakers from diverse backgrounds of industry.

Business Sense 2011 expo will also be a platform to launch new business products and services. Miss Wiafe added, “Imagine thousands of potential customers walking through your front desk over 2 days.
