Africa Talent Week

Speaker applications

Bring a session worth their day.

The ATW 2026 programme is built from open submissions. Pitch a keynote, panel seat, workshop or fireside conversation.

What we look for

Three things make a strong pitch.

Submissions close once the Tuesday 15 December 2026 programme is locked. Earlier is better.

Practical over theoretical

Sessions people can act on the same week. Frameworks, live demos, real numbers.

Grounded in African context

Work, hiring and audiences on the continent and across the diaspora — not imported case studies.

Clear takeaways

Name the three things an attendee leaves with. We build the programme around those.

Open tracks
