The Africa Rising Symposium is EMY Africa’s flagship thought leadership platform dedicated to shaping the conversations that matter most to Africa’s future. Designed as a convening of bold thinkers, visionary leaders, and global collaborators, the Symposium explores Africa’s evolving place in the world, its influence, innovation, leadership, and global partnerships.

Held across strategic locations including Accra, London, and New York, the Symposium examines key issues affecting the continent and its diaspora. From economic transformation and creative economies to governance, diplomacy, and entrepreneurship, it provides a rare space for connection between policymakers, business leaders, creatives, and emerging changemakers.

Each edition is curated under a powerful theme that reflects Africa’s current trajectory.
