Johnson Smith announced that over 1,100 individuals have registered, surpassing the government’s target of 1,000 participants. She addressed the registrants at a welcome cocktail reception to commence the event.
Running until June 19 at the Montego Bay Convention Centre, the conference brings together Jamaicans from over 15 countries to discuss national development and societal progress.
“It is our largest number of sponsors ever,” Johnson Smith shared. “It is our largest marketplace ever. I feel really moved to celebrate that this continued growing and expanded support of movement by our nationals at home and abroad is something of which we can all collectively be proud.”
