“This year’s theme is how best the industry can strategise going forward after the effects CoVID-19 that has affected all of us — not just us the corporate companies — but the Malawi economy as a whole.

“We need to strategize with the new norm which CoVID-19 brought in our economy so that we are well prepared for any eventuality going forward.

“We will have experienced professionals, both local and international, who have different experiences they have undergone due to CoVID-19 which need to be shared for the good of the Malawi and the African economy.

“So, we are very honoured and very grateful of this sponsorship from FDH, which will go a long way for us to have a successful annual conference,” he said.
