Following last year's successful launch, we're thrilled to announce the IFMA Global Africa conference will be held in Lagos, Nigeria on 19-20 August 2025.
This significant gathering, co-hosted by the International Facility Management Association and the IFMA Nigeria Chapter, will unite facility management professionals, industry visionaries and specialists from throughout Africa and worldwide.
IFMA Global Africa strives to function as a collaborative platform for sharing expertise and driving innovation across the facility management sector. Attendees will enjoy keynote addresses, expert panels, hands-on workshops, and strategic networking opportunities, all exploring the theme of "Enabling Sustainable Facility Management Practices in Africa."
Facility management is shaping how this continent works, lives and plays like no other. As organizations focus on their environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) plans, they will rely on FMs to strategize and realize those goals.
This event will help FMs harness the resources, knowledge and networking to position themselves to be the trusted authorities to guide their organizations to operate effectively, efficiently and sustainably for the benefit of their people, products and planet.
Ghana International Book Fair
20th - 23rd August 2025 - Accra, Ghana
The Ghana International Book Fair (GIBF) was instituted in the mid-90s to revive the book industry in Ghana which was at its lowest ebb due to serious economic recession of the late 70s and 80s. The Trade Fair Authority was therefore charged with the responsibility of initiating an international book fair in Ghana.
The first ever book fair was held in 1996. Subsequent fairs were held every two years in 1998 until 2008, when the event became an annual event. The fair has been holding every year since 2008 with the Ghana Publishers Association as the lead organiser.
The Ghana International Book Fair is an annual event organised to celebrate the rich Ghanaian culture through books. The main goal behind organising the Book Fair is to bring together all Ghanaian and international book industry players to exhibit books, creativity and innovations; explore business opportunities; organise literacy programmes for students; and hold workshops for the book industry to enhance the publishing of quality books. GIBF also aims at exposing readers to a wide array of books at highly discounted prices, thus creating literacy awareness and inculcating into the general public good reading and writing habits.
