On February 21st and 22nd, 2024, the Julius Nyerere International Convention Center (JNICC) in Dar es Salaam hosted the highly anticipated Tanzania Association & MICE Training Workshop. Organized by the African Society of Association Executives (AfSAE), this prestigious event brought together leading figures from Tanzania's association landscape for an intensive two-day learning experience.

The workshop aimed to empower participants with the knowledge and skills needed to enhance the effectiveness and impact of their associations. Renowned experts, including Gregg Talley and Jeffers Miruka, shared valuable insights and best practices on various crucial topics.
