The host country
Ghana is an enthusiastic local partner for our AFRICA conference. The country has experience to share of large-scale dams and hydro plants in operation (Kpong, Akosombo and Bui), mini and micro hydro schemes, floating solar hydro at Bui, with plans for upgrading FPV to a larger scale. Our African regional events have progressively moved around the continent (Ethiopia in 2013, Morocco in 2017, Namibia in 2019 and Uganda in 2023). It is now the turn of a West African nation to be host country. Delegates will hear of Ghana’s future plans, including studies for pumped storage, more FPV and more conventional hydro
The conference venue
International delegates and accompanying persons will meet in beautiful surroundings, at the Labadi Beach Resort. This venue will provide a tranquil and picturesque backdrop for three days of focused discussion, preceded by workshops and training seminars.
The Labadi Resort, on the shore of the South Atlantic Ocean, and just two hours’ drive from Ghana’s major hydro plants on the Volta river, offers a modern Congress Centre and Exhibition Pavilion, luxurious 5* accommodation at discounted prices for delegates, and sumptuous international cuisine. Other hotels nearby in various categories are also waiting to welcome delegates, offering special rates.
Conference Themes
Themes will include civil engineering and dam construction, safety and cyber security, social and environmental concerns, challenging schemes, multipurpose development, rural electrification, and training and capacity building, among many others.
