Nairobi, June 2027
Africa PR Week is the annual summit and year-round platform for the communicators shaping how the continent is seen.
“We are Africa’s microphone to the world. Don’t drop the mic!”
This is what it looks like when Africa’s communicators share one room.
The next room opens in June 2027.
Relive 2026The Africa Brand Index asks what turns pride in the continent into preference for its brands. Closing that gap is communications work.
Working baseline figures presented at the Africa Brand Index 2026 launch.

June 2027. One room for the whole continent, and a seat with your country’s name on it.
At the 2026 summit, delegates signed this wall by hand. This is what they wrote. In June 2027, it opens again.
“Reputation is infrastructure, not output.”
“Until we tell our stories we won’t own the narrative.”
“The narrative is ours now, as it has always been.”
“Africa is rich. Let’s tell her story!”
“Lead the way for the Global South. Own it.”
“African stories, told by Africans with authenticity.”
“Truth, told beautifully. We need to write our own narrative.”
“Our new narrative is about power and achievements.”
“African stories, told by Africans. Forever ambassadors of the continent!”
“Developing professional standards.”
“Let Africa tell her own story.”
“I will transform Africa.”
“Africa doesn’t just need a better story. We need stronger systems, institutions and narratives.”
“Africa speaks. The world listens.”
“African stories, told by Africans.”
