Over the last couple of years there has been a dramatic change in the way investors are looking at the African continent as a place to do business. And the foundations of many of the African markets are proving to show a solid footing. Bench Events has been at the cutting edge of this trend, with the annual Hotel Investment Conference Africa, scheduled for later this year, ideally placed to allow investors access to this developing market.

Bench Events, the co-organisers of leading conferences for the hotel investment industry in Berlin, Dubai and Moscow has announced the appointment of Grant Collier as marketing director of Bench Events.
