A business event this weekend you should not miss

__Unstoppable Africa!

Theres a really exciting high level conference on Africa taking place in New York THIS Sunday and Monday 18-19 September. Ive actually traveled all the way here to attend!

I know its very late notice, my friends... but Ive implored the event organizers to make sure that those of you who are in America and can get to NYC should be given entry, if you register online ASAP. I put the link below, only register if youre able to attend in person.

I have also asked them to stream it LIVE online for the two days! The event is the Global Africa Business Initiative or GABI for short. You can check it out here httpswww.gabi.biz

This event has been years in the making and thanks to the work of one of the most powerful women leaders in the world today an African no less -- Amina Mohammed, the Deputy SG of the UN -- and a group of business leaders including yours truly, its finally happening!

Take a look at this agenda httpswww.gabi.bizagenda Wow!

As entrepreneurs who follow the news, you should know that every September, leaders from every nation are invited to attend a very big meeting in New York City, of global scope. Hint the main event is a plenary session where each leader is allowed to speak. If you arent aware of this, do your research and please post about it below.

What most people dont know is that thousands of other people also converge in New York City at the same time. Many come in delegations with the leaders, whilst most come on their own.

__This busy week in September each year is an opportunity to meet other business people in one place, or to join events on every imaginable issue out there. I get literally hundreds of invitations to attend discussions or to speak.

I have been coming for decades, and I have a well-established routine around what I do, and who I see. I rarely stay more than a day or two.

The idea behind GABI was to establish a forum where Africa is THE primary focus. The speaker rostrum they put together is just amazing and I urge you to look at it carefully. To be honest, Ive never seen a rostrum like this for one meeting! It is awesome.

Youll see in the program that people like Aliko Dangote, Robert Smith the wealthiest African American Sundar Pichai of Googles parent company Brad Smith of Microsoft are just a few business titans who will be there talking about Africa! If you dont know who they are, you better Google them!

Melinda French-Gates, co-founder of Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and Darren Walker, head of the Ford Foundation, will be among those at GABI leading the philanthropy sector.

Youll also see some of the biggest names in sport leadership such as Giovanni Infantino of FIFA, Adam Silver of the NBA, and Masai Ujiri of the Toronto Raptors

For those of you who love music, even John Baptiste is coming. It goes on and on!

So why is GABI being launched this year, and getting so much attention? As entrepreneurs, all of you here on my platform already know the answer...

Africa is now positioned to be the most important driver of global business with a 2.5 trillion market opportunity. Every sector of the continents economy from manufacturing to agriculture to services to finance is on a growth trajectory.

By 2050, one in every four people in the world will be African offering up a massive consumer and business market... from the GABI intro

__This is the type of event you sleep on the pavement for guys, if youre an entrepreneur or budding young leader.

Now at this point, I dont want any of you to jump on a plane please! As I said, the GABI event starting Sunday morning EDT will be streamed LIVE so I suggest that you get together with your friends from this platform, organize some food, and if you can, even set up giant screens to watch together and discuss. If link isnt on the website yet, stay tuned till Sunday.

See you there!
