2009 Euro Money Conference Cancelled

THE second Euro-money Zambia Investment Conference, which was scheduled to take place in Lusaka in two weeks time, has been called off, organisers for Euro-money Conferences have said.
Euro-money Conferences programme manager, Tara Hosseini confirmed the development but declined to give reasons.
Mr Hosseini said the organisers put in place all the necessary arrangements and made all possible contacts with sponsors and presenters before the cancellation.
Last year, Euro-money Conferences successfully hosted the inaugural Zambia Investment Conference, which attracted a host of foreign and domestic investors in various fields and a number of potential projects and partnerships were mooted.
The world’s renowned investment conference organisers were set to host the second Zambia Investment Conference on June 16 and 17 in Lusaka, but this has now been cancelled and all planning efforts had been halted.
“Despite our best efforts, we are unable to continue with the planning of the conference,” Mr Hosseini said.
He said Euro-money Conferences had not permanently abandoned Zambia and would still be hosting the Zambia Investment Conference in the near future.
He said the organisers were still discussing with the Zambian Government and would advise the way forward.
“We are fully committed to reinstating this event and are working hard with the Zambian Government and will do our best to bring this conference back as soon as possible,” he said.
