The Spa & Wellness Association of Africa brings you the 5th Annual SWAA Conference where we will be talking about Smart Wellness Regions Africa – Building a decade of Wellness.

Africa wants to highlight the ‘smart’ in wellness. And in 2021 we look at technology, businesses, institutions and government planning, for the next decade. How do we improve the scene?

Join us and connect with international thought leaders to discuss how smart wellness regions growth will influence policies, cities and communities, our industry and our planet. With the signed Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) treaty to create the world’s largest single market estimates, implementing AfCFTA will lead to around a 60% boost in intra-African trade by 2022.

This conference will also connect you with thought-leaders who may also have recommendations for you, making attending well-worth it. The Non-profit Spa & Wellness Association of Africa, SWAA Conference, focuses primarily on raising standards, accreditation, education, promoting Africa, fundraising strategies and more. It is an important event solely for the valuable information related to the continent’s development strategies, that will see growth in the next decade.

I warmly welcome you to participate in the 5th Annual SWAA Conference 2021.

Sincerely,

Elaine Okeke-Martin
(President)
