Australia’s Paydirt is once again hosting the annual Africa Downunder Conference
Last year’s conference attracted a wide cross-section of business leaders from Australia and Africa, the seven Australian heads of mission representing the Australian Government in most African countries, as well as delegations of government officials from African countries.
Africa Downunder 2005 was a huge success, reflected in a great deal of positive feedback received from exhibitors, presenters and delegates. The conference attracted more than 300 delegates, 45 exhibition booths and a full programme of top-notch speakers. We are confident the 2006 event will consolidate our reputation as the hosted Australian mining indaba for business conducted between the two continents.
