Built for the people who build trust.
Africa PR Week convenes the leaders, agencies, institutions and next-generation communicators who shape how Africa is seen, and how it sees itself.
Africa’s story has too often been told by someone else. Africa PR Week exists so the people who tell it can meet, compare notes and raise the standard together.
Africa PR Week is the annual summit and year-round platform for public relations and communications professionals working in and on Africa.
It is built by the people who take part: the practitioners who fill the room, the speakers who take the stage and the organisations that stand behind them.
