The first forum was held on Friday, 28 June 2019 at the Economics Department of the University of Ghana.

Mr Amissah-Arthur was a senior lecturer at the Economics Department of the University of Ghana before becoming Vice-President under the John Mahama administration from 2012 to 2016.

He died on 29 June 2018 while on a morning workout at a Burma Camp gym in Accra.
