The second annual Designation Guyana Now Business Conference got underway yesterday at the Marriott Hotel in Georgetown. The conference, which ends on October 21, seeks to provide a platform for education, investment prospects, business collaboration, and networking for local business people and those in the diaspora.
The genesis of the conference was the challenges its founder Stacey Mollison faced in her efforts to get involved in business in Guyana.
“It really is an act of love. I started it following the challenges I had as a business owner in the diaspora who wanted to do business in Guyana,” she said. “I was encountering all this stuff, but I made a decision that I was going to figure it out, and when I figured it out I would bring smaller groups of business owners together in a very strategic manner to help them navigate this process.
