TMG Strategic Advisors | Africa in Global Affairs Networking Event

About the Event

Join us for a festive Holiday Convening for International Affairs Professionals with an Interest in Africa—an evening designed to bring together practitioners, diplomats, policy leaders, development experts, private-sector partners, scholars, and friends of Africa for meaningful connection and community-building.

This gathering is more than a seasonal celebration. It’s the start of a growing network committed to strengthening collaboration across the Africa-focused ecosystem—development, diplomacy, business, governance, culture, philanthropy, security, and beyond. Whether you work directly on African portfolios or you’re simply passionate about the continent, you’ll find a welcoming space to meet new colleagues, reconnect with peers, and expand your circle.
