11th - 12th 2026 - Bradford, England

African Renaissance: Reclaiming narratives and advancing a shared future

The continent is witnessing a surge of innovation across various sectors, from technology and entrepreneurship to renewable energy and healthcare. However, realising Africa's full potential requires a concerted effort to address the challenges of integration and ensure that the benefits of development are shared equitably across the continent.

Through insightful presentations, colourful posters, robust discussions, and collaborative efforts, we will explore good practices that can be employed to drive sustainable development, foster regional integration, and foster societal and sectoral advancements.

The African International Conference provides a platform for scholars, practitioners, policymakers, government, and innovators to converge and delve into the critical issues shaping the African continent.

Our Ocean Conference

16th - 18th June 2026 - Kenya, Mombasa

This year’s theme - Our Ocean, Our Heritage, Our Future - celebrates the living connection between people and the ocean. It reflects the heritage, cultures, and coastal communities shaped by the sea, and it calls for a shared commitment to secure a resilient, just, and thriving ocean for generations to come.

From ancient trading routes to modern innovation, the ocean is part of who we are. In 2026, Kenya invites the world to honor that heritage and work together for a healthier, more resilient ocean.

In June 2026, Kenya will host the 11th Our Ocean Conference, OOC11, on the vibrant Swahili coast, marking the first time the conference is held on African soil. From Mombasa to Kilifi, this landmark moment will shine a global spotlight on Africa’s ocean leadership and the unique coastal communities, ecosystems, and innovations that define the Western Indian Ocean.

The ocean is our planet’s life support system, home to 80% of all life on Earth, a provider of food and livelihoods for billions, and a stabilizing force for the global climate. Yet it faces escalating threats from warming seas, illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (IUU), pollution, and biodiversity loss.

OOC11 will bring together leaders from government, science, civil society, youth, and the private sector to accelerate ocean action and turn collective ambition into meaningful progress, with Kenya leading the way as host of the 2026 conference.
