The Africa Convention 2008 is an incredible networking opportunity amongst all great attendees; Africans, descendants of Africa and all friends of Africa.
It's a celebration of our great African heritage, feast on African delicacies. The globe will dance to Africa's indigenous music, feast on African recipes, and revel in Africa's art and culture. At the Africa village we will dance to our drum beat, listen to our folk stories, and yes we will talk about politics by the fire side, Obama or Mcain "Yes we can", discuss issues that are important to African women at the Africa Women's Empowerment Symposium, talk about businesses and community at the Africa Business Symposium, showcase our style and culture at the Pan African Couture fashion show. Our Africa Art Exhibition will be themed toward the real image of Africa. The Afro Film festival will tell our real life stories and yes you will mingle with Africa's stars on the red carpet.
