The conference that helps us share ideas for positive change is coming to back to Washington
this November. Don't miss your chance to attend this extraordinary event again!
Our Theme: From Art to Technology, Health to Entrepreneurship:
Who’s Making it happen?
Africa Gathering brings technophiles, thinkers, entrepreneurs, innovators and everybody else together to talk about positive change in sustainable development, technology, social networking, health, education and good governance in Africa.
The Africa Gathering conference this November in Washington DC will focus on the re-emerging arts, politics, social movements, and all things under the umbrella of the building of a New Africa, as they organically intersect with the work of women in and of Africa. Delegates and speakers will share their ideas under the palaver tree and discuss how their work drives, or is driven by the help of women in Africa.
We're in back in DC in November with an exciting schedule of events that helps develop business relationships, highlight grassroots and emerging technology that is relevant to Africa whilst encouraging active involvement from Africa focussed businesses, investors and strategists. The evening will also include a number of business focussed talks.

Africa Gathering is a movement to see African ideas and innovations recognised, used and celebrated. Drawing inspiration from the African Baobab tree, where people traditionally gather to share knowledge, debate issues and learn from each other, African Gathering events – from London to Washington and Nairobi – bring together African change-makers and all those passionate about Africa’s development.
