The theme for the 26th World Economic Forum on Africa is 'Connecting Africa’s Resources through Digital Transformation’

The host country, Rwanda, has obviously come a long way, one of recovery and rebuild since the 1994 mass genocide that cost the lives of over a million people.

There’s no better way for Rwanda to shine, proving to the world that in a little over two decades, she can rise from the ashes of such devastating carnage than for her to host the 2016 WEF on Africa.

These are three of the six co-chairs of the event. You might want to look out for their addresses.
