After a decision to change the venue from the Mar-riott Hotel to the Arthur Chung Conference Centre (ACCC), the AfriCarib-bean Trade and Investment Forum (ACTIF23) has now reverted to its original host location as space at the ACCC has proven to be inadequate.
“We would like to inform you of an important update regarding the venue for the second edition of the AfriCaribbean Trade & Investment Forum. The Forum will now revert to our initial venue, Marriott Hotel, Georgetown, Guy-ana. Apologies for the inconvenience this may have caused,” an email on Thursday to delegates stated.
Guyana is hosting an Agri-Investment Forum and Expo from October 20-22 and changes have been made at the ACCC to accommodate booths and tents. The ACTIF23 trade and investment forum will be held one week later on October 30-31. The dome at the ACCC has capacity for a maximum of 300 persons and at least 750, or more than double the dome’s seating capacity, are expected for the sessions. Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA), Ambassa-dor Elisabeth Harper, who is spearheading the event, last week updated this newspaper and stated that preparations were underway and that this country will be ready to host the anticipated 1500 foreigners.
