The summit attracts leading figures from Sierra Leone’s public and private sectors and the diaspora. Past keynote speakers have included Minister of Trade Mr. Alpha Sesay, Managing Director of Leonco Mr. Ibrahim Cole, and representatives from Dole Sunshine Company SL, Marampa Mines, Lions Range Group, Mercury International, USAID, and the Millennium Challenge Corporation, among others.

This year, the conference will focus on addressing the specific challenges faced by the diaspora. Sessions will offer practical solutions, best practices, and strategies for mitigating risks and maximizing national and global opportunities.

“We must shift our mindset from ‘what if I fail’ to ‘how can I mitigate risks?’ Look beyond the headlines because the opportunities in Sierra Leone are substantial, and for the diaspora the rewards extend beyond financial gains,” said Vickie Remoe, Director of Digital Marketing, VR&C Marketing and founder of the Sierra Leone Diaspora Investment Conference.

Keynote speakers and panelists, including U.S. and Sierra Leonean policymakers, successful entrepreneurs, and African investment experts, will be announced in the coming weeks.
