East Africa GRI is the most senior get-together of real estate
investors, lenders, developers, hotel groups and major tenants
in the region.
Unlike conferences, we have no speakers, no panels, no
presentations. What we have is simultaneous discussions in
small groups, where everybody participates in an intimate
setting. Our members find this useful in identifying possible
business partners and investment opportunities.
If you would like to join as a Discussion Co-Chair, delegate or
sponsor then do get in touch. The GRI is proud to host the East
Africa GRI on the 23 & 24 May 2016 at the luxurious setting of
the Villa Rosa Kempinski.

THE GRI DIFFERENCE
NOT YOUR TYPICAL CONFERENCE
GRI meetings have no speakers, no presentations. Instead, you
have a selection of closed-door discussions where everyone can
participate. The dynamic environment allows you to engage with your
peers in an informal and collegial setting.
CRITERIA TO ATTEND
• Seniority: Founder, Chairman, CEO, Head of Real Estate, Director
• Deal Size: Investment/loan/development size: $20m (USD) -
$200m + (USD)
• Activity: Currently active or intend to be active in next 12 months
“Africa GRI is a great networking forum. You get
to meet your peers in other regions within and
outside the Continent, understand their challeng-
es and how they have overcome them.”
Uzo Oshogwe
CEO/MD
AFRILAND PROPERTIES PLC
“Africa GRI allows international investors to
explore the new opportunities in Sub-Saharan
African markets.”
