Coming together to build a dynamic and formidable industry that sets acceptable standards among its members to deliver value for clients should therefore be the ultimate goal,\u201d he advised.<\/p>\n<p>Highlighting the benefits of the event industry to national development, Mr.\u00a0Okyere Darko-Mensah further stated\u00a0that, one of the critical aspects of the event industry that vendors must emphasise is its potential to promote tourism and contribute to the development of our local communities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGhana\u2019s rich history, culture and traditions provide a fertile ground for event planners to create experiences that captivate both local and international audiences. Through these events, we can attract tourists, support our artisans and showcase our heritage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy working closely with local communities and involving them in the planning and execution of events, we can ensure that the benefits of the industry reach every corner of our nation,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>President of the Event Vendors Association of Ghana (EVAG),\u00a0Kate Hassan, on her part, said the industry conference was organised to provide a unique platform for members and stakeholders to come together, share knowledge, forge new partnerships, and explore innovative trends and practices.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is an opportunity to learn from industry experts, discuss challenges, and collectively work towards the development and growth of the events sector in Ghana,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The panel discussion section of the conference witnessed the industry trailblazers sharing insightful experiences on how to position the event industry on a global pedestal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Prince Fiifi Yorke\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A section of the participants at the GEIC in Takoradi \u00a0 Western Regional Minister and Member of Parliament for Takoradi Constituency, Kwabena Okyere Darko-Mensah, has called for intensive collaboration between event industry players in Ghana.
