Join us for the 4th edition of the Congolese Diaspora Impact Summit (CDIS) from September 19th-20th in Washington, DC. The summit will explore the Democratic Republic of Congo’s (DRC) strategic importance in the technology and energy transition, emerging geopolitical alignments, and new pathways for inclusive, sustainable economic development. This flagship summit brings together the Congolese diaspora and those interested in the DRC for actionable dialogue on strengthening the country's economic and human potential.
Speakers and panelists will be announced soon.
