About Theme
The theme of the summit will be Associations: Unlocking Africa's Potential. This will address how associations, as civil society organizations can play a greater role in driving the African development agenda. The two-day educational event is built around our theme and will feature other presentations in "Ted-Talk" style, panels, workshops and networking events. Two tracks will run in parallel: Finance & Administration, Governance & Strategy, and Technology. Speakers will be from recognized African institutions, international associations, and African business and association colleagues.
