The conference plays a critical role in creating opportunities for Uganda’s domestic and international interests since it brings together key policy and decision makers, business leaders, bankers, academia and investors from all over the world.

The choice of the venue is motivated by the need for ample exhibition space for the National Suppliers Database registered entities. Additionally, owing to the latest developments, the year is expected to attract the largest number of participants that have been preparing for the opportunities in the sector. It is interesting that the convention has over the years attracted hundreds of participants with the peak being 2021 where over 2000 participants registered to attend the virtual convention on zoom and YouTube.
