Hi Andreas,
Oh yes, the conf took place but it was crashed by those guys who put 
on suits and pitch at things like this and pretend to be 'experts' 
with prepared papers. There's a short note on the WTO site about it.

Please note:
A panelist for the Wharton Africa Business Forum misrepresented 
himself as being affiliated with the World Trade Organization (WTO). 
Based on that misrepresentation, the individual was invited to speak 
at the Forum, which was held on November 11, 2006 in Philadelphia. As 
soon as the conference organizers realized the misrepresentation 
perpetrated by this individual, the other panelists were immediately 
informed. Neither the conference organizers nor The Wharton School 
had or has any association with the individual nor do they endorse 
the individual's views.

Regards,
Executive Team
Wharton Africa Business Forum

Go well

Bill
