04 / VOICES FROM 2026
“The best event I have ever been to, hands down, by far.” — Tal Rana · Root Rise Media
Met so many amazing people, and learnt so much from all the incredibly smart people that I was able to connect with. The week far exceeded my expectations, and was for sure the best investment I could have made this year.
MATTHEW WARD
Attendee · 2026
The event was so beautifully curated. From food, to decoration, to people. Akil did really well with creating such a strong sense of inclusivity between all people attending the event.
JEN
Attendee · 2026
AfricAI is for anyone who is looking for an opportunity to spend time with people that are driven to achieve their goals and wants to learn about AI and business. Great place to be if you want to accelerate your learnings and results.
NATALIYA SHALYGINA
Attendee · 2026
I realised again how massive this AI opportunity is. And that I can be part of the transformation. I can live a different life by fully going for this opportunity and breaking free from the employee lifestyle.
GERHARD BEKKER
