This landmark conference, previously known as the Africa Economic Forum, stands as a testament to two decades of building bridges between Africa and the world. Organized through a collaboration between Columbia Business School, Columbia Engineering, and the Columbia School of International and Public Affairs, the event has been pivotal in providing a platform for meaningful discussions around Africa’s potential.
Attendees of this year’s conference can expect a lineup of distinguished speakers hailing from across the African continent. Over the course of the two days, participants are anticipated to leave with a renewed sense of optimism for Africa’s future and the inspiration to contribute to the continent’s progression.
Among the many highlights of the conference are thought-provoking panels, intimate fireside chats, and engaging keynote speeches. For those with an artistic inclination, a cultural gallery and gallery walk are on the itinerary. The Afro-themed ball, a signature feature of the event, promises to be an immersive experience for all. To top it all off, attendees will receive a specially curated swag bag.
