Specifically to the Afrika Dag, it was a well organized and highly successful event. Right from the ushering through the opening ceremony, the various workshops and the exhibitions, it was a huge success. The quality of the debate was good, what with the broad spectrum of speakers. It was also another opportunity for making connections with new people, new programs and new opportunities. At least I got a few new connections which are am now pursuing for further business.'
