Warwick Africa Summit 2021


WHAT IS AFRICA SUMMIT ?

Warwick Africa Summit is a student-organised interdisciplinary conference focused on the development of the African continent, with an aim to celebrate the continent’s future as well as its economic growth. The event aims to draw from a pool of industry leaders with a wealth of knowledge of the region. We present a platform to address the different challenges faced by the continent through the multidisciplinary keynote speeches and panels on Human and Economic Development, Innovation, Governance, and Culture and History.

WHO WE ARE?

We set ourselves apart from the conventional summits in our unique approach to the region. Our initiative focuses on Africa within a global framework, with a spotlight on progress and future of the continent’s burgeoning infrastructure, as well as its development of young leaders with an astute passion for the region. In order to adapt to our current climate, this year’s summit will be held online but will be just as interactive and engaging!
