Hey AIESEC!

It has been 4 months since the Congress

Committee team commenced the

planning of this finely esteemed 7th East

African Pioneers Congress happening

from 30th October to 3rd November and

we are more than proud that Kenya is

hosting it. We are working tirelessly to

ensure it will be one of a kind, one to

remember and one that will set

standards for the next Pioneers

Congresses to come.

Pioneers Congress in the past has been

known to engage only the leaders of the

AIESEC entities in the East African Region

namely; Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania,

Ethiopia and Rwanda. It has therefore

been a leadership development

conference for the named leaders to set

targets, strategize, and keep track of

entity development in their specific

regions, this year, we have re-strategized

it.

There will multiple chances to meet and

mingle with AIESEC alumni, corporates,

top government officials and fellow

delegates from all over East Africa.

If you’re not looking forward to this like I

am, I assure you, you will miss out on so

much but if you are looking forward to

this start saving up and packing your

bags and see you on October 30th 2013

Huuuurrraaaayyyy! SAY AIESEC

Regards,

Brenda Njeri

AIESEC is a french acronym that means “Association Internationale des Etudiants en Sciences

Economiques et Commerciales”. AIESEC has experience in developing high-potential youth into globally

minded responsible leaders. What makes AIESEC unique is the youth driven impactful experiences that

it offers it’s members.

The 7th East African Pioneers Congress brings you 5 days and 4 nights of discovery, impact, and

inspiration. It shall take 7months of preparation and 45 young, driven individuals whose role is to

ensure a successful and empowering conference.

This year, the conference has re-strategized and opened a new door to new members who may wish to

attend the conference, as well maintaining its approach on inviting leaders. This is to ensure that most

if not all AIESEC members get a good and memorable first experience and engagement with AIESEC.

This conference will also be a platform for new members to get inspired by older members and get

empowered to proceed with their AIESEC experience.

The agenda is replenished with amazing plenary lead sessions, learning circles, Youth to Business forum

(Y2B), and to top up, social agenda like Global Village-where every delegate is free to showcase their

culture, in addition we have roll calls, theme nights and night parties.
