According to the organisers, the event has been conceived as a forum where political leaders will meet other leaders of thoughts, captains of industries, policy analysts and policy makers to exchange views on the future of the country.

It is built around the unveiling of a new book titled “Epistles of Anthony Kila” and written by the strategy and development professor and CIAPS Centre director Anthony Kila.
