Dear friends, 

 

Please be sure to mark the following dates in your calendars today:

 
  THE EY-GIAF-AIES CONFERENCE will take place ON DECEMBER 16, 26    
 
–  at  the EY First Tower in Paris-La Défense  
(Very easy to get to from the “Esplanade de La Défense” subway exit on Line 1)
 
-The event will take place throughout the day, with two coffee breaks—one in the morning and one in the afternoon—as well as a luncheon reception and a cocktail reception.  Four sessions are scheduled: two in the morning and two in the afternoon,
 
– We expect approximately 80 participants, focusing on high-profile individuals, in a plenary-style room setup with four panelists and one moderator per session. 
 
– The draft program —a copy of which is provided below—was developed based on some very interesting contributions from a number of you and refined during our last Paris Chapter lunch.  
 
I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to these contributors, including, Léon KOFFI, Patrick SEVAISTRE, Christophe PASQUIER, Antony THIA-LABI, Pierre JACQUEMOT, Stephane OBA, José AHODODÉ… 
 
The program will be finalized this Wednesday, September 30 during a working lunch with EY, which will also be attended by Anthony THIA – LABI and Jean-Philippe ATSE, founders of Africa Integrated Solutions (AIES)— an African company operating in the energy sector that, based on its in-depth knowledge of the energy sector, has been selected as the third partner. 
 
 
Please feel free to send us any comments or suggestions you may have regarding the program, and let us know as soon as possible if you have any suggestions regarding the guest list … 
  
Warm regards to everyone
