May Forum


May Forum is one of AWiB’s flagship events that started in 2012 with the aim of cultivating the culture of dialogue. Over the last nine editions, May Forum has consistently delivered diverse and relevant topics at the prestigious UNECA venue. Beyond providing a platform for discussing pressing issues, the conference serves as a forum for professional and self-development. Its networking sessions are unparalleled, offering a unique opportunity to recruit potential team members and forge valuable partnerships.
