3. Start sending meeting requests - You can add a personal note to each invite, set your preferred meeting length (15, 25 or 55 minutes) and you can also appoint a member of your team to be your meeting coordinator. There is no limit to the number of meetings you can request.

You have the power to accept, decline and request as many meetings as you like.

There is no need for you to arrange your meetings – it will be all done for you by GHI's expert team. It could not be easier; we take care of all the scheduling for you as your personal account managers taking into account conference sessions and networking events you wish to attend as well as your arrival and departure flights. A full schedule is sent out 2 weeks before the conference.

The Meeting planner will close for new requests the Friday prior to the conference, however we will continue to schedule meetings when existing requests are accepted. We are still able to handle last minute requests on a case-by-case basis and there will also be a helpdesk on site to manage any new meeting requests.

GHI’s Conferences provide unparalleled networking opportunities. More than 500 One-to-One Meetings are expected at the 7th African GHI Conference. We also provide table-top spaces for ad-hoc meetings over the two days. And don’t miss out on our Welcome Party and Delegate Dinner, which provide the opportunity to extend discussions long into the night.

We are able to issue visa letters to all confirmed delegates to help with your visa application, contact conferences@groundhandling.com for more information. GHI is unable to take responsibility for any refused visa applications.
