Having become, largely through its oil and gas bonanza, the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) country enjoying the highest profile in the region, the International Conference on Business, Commerce and Management Studies, scheduled to be held in Georgetown, the country’s capital, on May 25, 2024, is likely to attract further regional and international attention to Guyana.
The event, its media promotion says, promises to provide “an excellent international forum for sharing knowledge and results in theory, methodology and application of Business, Commerce and Management Studies.” This, at a time when Guyana is beginning to further open its doors to global investors seeking to take advantage of the entrepreneurial openings which the country’s petro fortune has opened up.
The May event, is being organized by the International Institute of Engineers Researchers and Doctors to boost and publicize the promoting, forming, developing and organizing associations and networks in a range of disciplines that include Civil, Mechanical, Medical, Dental, Computer, Electronics, Electrical, Management, Biomedical, Bio informatics and other critical contemporary engineering and science-based disciplines.
The May 25 forum is just one of the more recent in a series of events of international significance that Guyana has attracted since the soaring of the its international profile made it a target for global exposure through the international media. The May 25 forum comes on the heels of the recent staging of what has now become Guyana’s globally popular annual Oil and Gas forum which has now been penciled in as a ‘must attend’ event for high officials of both government and business persons globally. Guyana has, over the past three years, in recent years, hosted a succession of international fora on oil and gas, food security and other regional and international development-related issues, raising the country’s profile from that of an impoverished South American outpost to a country whose investment potential has triggered a vigorous jousting among world class business entities.
A release on the forthcoming forum lists Technology, Aeronautical and Environmental issues as being among the issues that are expected to be discussed during the forum. Promotional material on the May event says that it also promises to provide “an excellent international forum for sharing knowledge and results in theory, methodology and applications of Business, Commerce and Management Studies.” The objective of the forum is to “bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to focus on understanding Business, Commerce and Management concepts and establishing new collaborations in these areas.” The forum is also soliciting authors “to contribute to the conference by submitting articles that illustrate research results, projects, surveying works and industrial experiences that describe significant advances in the areas of Business, Commerce and Management.”
