Take Your Global Experience Back to Africa

The Careers in Africa New York Summit connects internationally experienced African professionals with leading employers hiring across the continent. If you’ve built your career abroad and are thinking about what’s next, this is where the conversation starts.

At the New York Summit, you can:

Engage directly with employers hiring across Africa

You can expect:

A structured, in-person experience (not crowded or transactional)
Direct conversations with hiring managers and leadership teams
Insight into what employers are really looking for
A peer network of globally experienced African professionals

This is about understanding where you fit — and where you can go next.
