The journey of discovering its rich cultural heritage, beautiful landscapes and investment opportunities awaits anyone willing to explore it.”

Speaking about the conference, Africa Economic Forum media chair, Omose Ighodaro, said, “There’s a need for solutions and conferences like AEF create hope as it works to bring together those who have a passion for elevating Africa. The two-day event will be a total immersion in topics such as Healthcare, Venture Capital, and Entertainment and the legacy of AEF is not only felt by those in attendance, but also seen in the impact these ongoing, African-focused discussions will make,” she said. “It is open to all students, alumni, and professionals.”

Exploring the theme — Africa Today & Tomorrow: Accelerating the Growth of an Economic and Cultural Powerhouse, this year’s conference will gather top business executives, thought leaders and politicians to discuss key topics affecting the continent, while providing a rich learning and networking experience for both speakers and attendees alike.

Through candid and holistic conversations, this year’s forum will also provide a lively space to brainstorm ways in which creative and innovative ideas can be leveraged to positively shape Africa’s future, while cementing its place as a major player in the global economy.
