"The AVCA conferences are a unique  event for networking, sharing the experience of African PE professionals and  meeting global investors targeting Africa for those who are in fund raising process.

AVCA is pleased to bring you the 6th Annual African Venture Capital and Private Equity Conference to be held in Dakar, Senegal on the 5-7th November 2006. This years conference promises to be insightful and exciting as we have brought together a host of highly acclaimed international and African keynote speakers to share their experiences and thoughts on how the African Venture Capital and Private Equity industry is maturing.

This year we are especially showcasing the breadth of African fund managers and case studies from new and established managers as well as hearing from investee companies and Africa's next generation of fund managers.  We will also be presenting results of industry surveys on institutional investment and vc/pe investment activity in Africa in 2005. 

The program also features panels on Institutional Investor Perspectives, Professional Development, Technical Assisitance, The Role of Development Banks, The Future of Foundations Investing in vc/pe and the Development Impact of vc/pe in Africa.

We look forward to seeing you in Dakar, Senegal.
