Rwanda Day

June 10-12, 2011
Hyatt Regency Hotel, East Wacker Driver, Chicago

Over 3,000 Rwandans living in North America, and friends of Rwanda, will gather in Chicago June 10-12 for an event to celebrate the up-from-the-ashes story of this small East African nation. This two-day event is a chance for both Rwandans living in the diaspora and friends of Rwanda to learn about the progress Rwanda has made over the past 17 years. In addition to Rwandan VIP’s and dignitaries the weekend-long gathering will highlight a visit from President Paul Kagame, who will speak at a public meeting on Saturday the 11th, followed by a Q and A session. There will also be a number of discussion panels highlighting growth and opportunity in the country, as well as musical and cultural performances.
