The Pioneer Exposition in Africa for natural, organic and beauty brands, BONA Expo in partnership with Choice International Group (GAC Motor Nigeria), recently hosted vendors and consumers to brunch at the GAC Motor headquarters in Victoria Island, Lagos.
The event was also an opportunity for owners of various beauty brands to network with one another, and learn a thing or two from business and financial heads such as Chairman GAC Motor, Diana Chan, Exposition Manager, BONA expo, Cynthia Odibeli, Executive Director of Zenith Bank, Adaobi Nwapa, and alpHER Content and Community Manager, Union Bank, Ayomide Oyediran.
BONA Expo, whose goal is to promote green beauty brands in Africa by Africans by fostering green beauty and retailing African green beauty brands on the global market, allowed vendors to display and promote their brands to consumers.
After that session, where participants introduced their products, Chan gave a tour of the GAC showroom, and brunch was served.
