Speaking at the prestigious Ga Mantse Palace in Accra during the launch, Bishop Dr. Charles Abban, President of the International Clergy Association, expressed his optimism that the conference would serve as a catalyst for tourism, cultural exchange, and stronger ties between the Diaspora and Ghana.

The ICAD Conference is organized by the International Clergy Association (ICA) and Diaspora Legacy, with generous sponsorship from Bishop Dr. Charles Abban, the esteemed CEO of The Rock Hospital in Accra and founder of the International Clergy Association (ICA).

Bishop Dr. Charles Abban emphasized that the conference program will delve deep into the historical intricacies of the transatlantic slave trade, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of its causes and consequences, thus facilitating healing, reconciliation, and a shared vision for a brighter future.
