Business Events

We regularly organise events in both Geneva and Africa that are directly related to the world of international trade, including business lunches, AWA Mornings, our annual Commodity Trading Golf Cup, Happy Hours and bespoke events.
These initiatives serve as opportunities to establish new relationships and build your network, whether social or professional. Their aim is to encourage attendees to find common ground or to focus on specific themes and through them we have been able to forge close relationships with most stakeholders in the international trade scene, from both the private and public sectors.
