The forthcoming East African Business Summit (EABS) due to be held in Kigali, Rwanda on June 4th to 6th 2014 has been postponed to October 23rd – 25th 2014.

The conveners have received numerous requests from various sponsors and delegates to have the dates moved given the proximity of this year’s summit to the recently concluded World Economic Forum in Nigeria where a good number of the target participants took part.  

The decision to move the Summit dates will add impetus to the objectives, discussions and outcomes while ensuring that the requisite impact as a sponsor is achieved.
