The organizers of the International Youth Empowerment Summit (iYES) have called off the 2020 edition in Kumasi off following the confirmed cases of coronavirus in Ghana.

Only one session of the 2-day event was held on Friday, March 14, 2020, at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology.

Patrons defied all odds to make the first session a huge success as they attended in their numbers.

However, the organizers of the event adhering to the safety regulations cancelled the other session which was to be held on Sunday, March 15, 2020.

The founder of iYES, Pastor Brian Amoateng in a video obtained by Owen Ghana, thanked participants and everyone for making the event a success. He revealed that the one-day of impact means a lot to him.

Pastor Brian hinted that the Accra edition of the International Youth Empowerment Summit (iYES) will take place in August.

Over the years, iYES has created a platform for the youth to acquire practical expertise as Christian in the corporate world.

The summits are to groom, equip and polish participating youth as well as provide the opportunity for networking in spirit-filled ambiance.
