Press Release

On behalf of the organizers and our network of partners, it is with deep regret that we inform you of the postponement of the 2020 Africa HR Forum & Career Fair, to a later date which will be announced in due time.

Mindful of the current circumstances around the pandemic COVID-19 coronavirus, the government of Equatorial Guinea, cognizant of WHO recommendations, has taken preventive measures by closing its borders until the pandemic is under control. Therefore the organizers cannot continue effective preparation of the Forum as planned. Our top priority remains to keep our community safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. We apologize profoundly for any inconveniences caused by this turn of events.

We would like to thank our Partners, Sponsors, Speakers and Delegates for advocating for the development of Africa’s workforce.
