Airtel Kenya has sponsored the Association of African Business Schools (AABS) Conference 2014 that is currently taking place at the Strathmore Business School.

 This conference is looking at connecting African business school practitioners and thought leaders through dialogue as well as coming up with competitive approaches to aid African business and management education growth strategy.

With the theme ‘The Role of Business Schools in building lasting institutions in Africa, the conference will see many leaders come together to share ideas and re-define the responsibility that business schools have in ensuring that there are lasting institutions in Africa.

 The AABS Connect Annual Conference 2014 will also present great exposes about Africa’s competitiveness, the comparatives with other models in other developed countries, the skills and the human capital needed to get Africa ahead of the curve.

Participants will also learn about finance from global models and most importantly the role of Business Schools as generators of pragmatic pedagogical models and actionable research to set the tone for a more coherent Africa.

The conference will also provide a platform for networking, exchange as well as reflection for the expected 80 delegates drawn from around 30 countries.
