2007 SUMMIT TRADE MISSIONS
In conjunction with the CCA US-Africa Business Summit, many
Africa-focused organizations are organizing trade missions
that will be held immediately before or after the CCA Summit
in Cape Town, South Africa, November 14-16, 2007. Those going
after the Summit are planned so that participants can be back
in the United States in time for Thanksgiving.
If you are interested in participating in a trade mission,
please read the information below and contact the person
responsible for the mission. Participants will be responsible
for air fare (which may be more cheaply included in your
airfare to the Summit in most cases) and hotel costs.
Organizers may also charge a fee for services conducted during
the mission. In any case, the trips will be far less expensive
than if you were to organize the trip to the country yourself.
The trade missions are open to all participants, regardless of
nationality attending the Summit.
