Entrepreneurs’ Organisation to host South Asia Leadership Conference in Colombo

Entrepreneurs’ Organisation’s (EO) South Asia Leadership Conference (SALC) is all set to take place in Colombo on June 25, for the very first time. 
With close to 300 participants representing the EO chapter boards in the South Asian region, the conference promises to be a platform for regional collaboration, knowledge sharing and exploration of Sri Lanka’s unique attractions. 

The prestigious event will be hosted at the renowned Cinnamon Grand, with the hotel already at full occupancy over the conference. With Colombo chosen as this year’s host city, SALC also offers a unique opportunity for participants to delve into the business opportunities that Sri Lanka has to offer.

“This was a year that saw us emerging from perhaps one of the most challenging times in Sri Lanka. The focus for many of our members’ companies was very much on survival. But standing still is not survival. To survive we must stretch, adapt and thrive. Entrepreneurs know this better than anyone,” said EO Sri Lanka Chapter President Jithendran Gajendran, Partner at GAJMA & Co.
