An all-expense paid trip to cover the 7th edition of the Africa CEO Forum, a leading international conference for business influencers in the private sector is available for a journalist courtesy of the African Media Agency (AMA).
AMA, a Pan African media relations and communications company, has launched a media competition to find the journalist who will attend the forum taking place in Kigali, Rwanda on 25-26 March 2019.
In a press statement, AMA explained that to qualify, Journalists and Bloggers from Print, Broadcast and Online media must submit a news item with an Africa-centric theme that had been published on or before December 30, 2018 by a media house in Africa.
“The competition is open to journalists working in Africa. This means that all African countries are eligible to participate,” it stated.
AMA CEO Eloine Barry encouraged journalists to use the opportunity to showcase their creativity and contribution by applying for the invite.
“We are excited to launch this initiative as it is a recognition of the hard work from our fellow journalists but also a testimony that without them, the African narrative would still be where it was a few years ago,” she said.
The Africa CEO Forum (ACF) hosts the continent’s top CEOs, international investors, experts and high-level policymakers every year. According to AMA, the forum has attracted over 120 heads of state and ministers and hosted over 3000 leading African and international companies.
This year, the conversations at the Africa CEO Forum will focus on how to use regional integration to drive private sector growth and create more African champions.
In 2018, the forum, which was held in Ivory Coast, was attended by over 1500 participants. Last year’s forum also saw the representation of over 70 countries and was attended by about 150 journalists including editors, reporters and agenda-setting bloggers.
