In a highly anticipated announcement, the Ruparelia Group of Companies under the stewardship of Dr Sudhir Ruparelia has confirmed the inaugural date for the magnificent Speke Resort Convention Center.
The facility will host two important global summits back-to-back shortly after it’s opening.
The two summits, the Non-Alignment Movement (NAM)—a gathering of 120 countries seeking nonalignment with the world’s superpowers, will run from January 15 to 19, while the G77+China summit is slated for January 21-23.
Speaking to this website, Dr Sudhir, Uganda’s revered businessman confirmed that the Convention center will be launched on January 10, 2024.

As the countdown begins, Ugandans are gearing up for this momentous event that promises to redefine world-class hospitality and event facilities.
With the final touches going on, those who have got a chance to tour the facility describe it as a testament to architectural brilliance and luxury.
“The opening of the 4000-seater convention center, ushers in a new era for conferences, events, and gatherings, offering a state-of-the-art venue against the backdrop of the breathtaking Munyonyo landscape on the shores of Lake Victoria.”
Dr Sudhir said the unveiling ceremony promises to be a grand affair, with distinguished guests, dignitaries, and industry leaders converging to witness the realization of this visionary project.
This announcement comes after meticulous planning and design between Government and Ruparelia Group reflecting commitment to providing a world-class venue that caters to the evolving needs of a global audience.
