AFRICON 2025 is shaping up to be the most impactful yet — a bold convergence of culture, commerce, and connection that unites Africa and its Diaspora under one roof. This year, we’re excited to officially unveil the Culture and CommerceTracks — two dynamic lineups that represent the best of Black excellence across industries.
From Grammy-nominated artists like Wale, beauty moguls like Jackie Aina, and cultural leaders like Tuma Basa and Azie Tesfai, to powerhouse founders, investors, and policymakers like Mustafa Chike-Obi, Nneka Onyeali-Ikpe, and Mayor Andre Dickens — this is where the worlds of creativity and capital collide.
🎤 Culture Track Highlights:
Expect bold conversations with leading voices across music, fashion, beauty, storytelling, and community impact — with names like Chiney, Diarra Ndiaye, Claude Kameni, Khadija Aisha Ba, Tomi Talabi, and many more.
💼 Commerce Track Highlights:
This year’s FITCC-powered commerce stage will spotlight the economic engine of the Diaspora — featuring top-tier speakers across banking, tech, trade, and policy, including Hon. Hannatu Musawa, Chris Oshiafi, Afie Braimoh, and Seyi Ebenezer.
AFRICON 2025 isn’t just a conference. It’s a launchpad for what’s next in the Black world.
