The FT Africa Summit is more than just a business and economic conference. We want to celebrate African art, culture and food. That’s why we’ve partnered with a number of African businesses to bring a touch of Africa to London.

Keep an eye out for pieces by African artist Olukokun Poroye dotted throughout the venue. Learn to say “hello” in different languages from students from the School of African Languages. Copper Fruit, a small African business are supplying decorative pieces, from cushions on the stages, to table runners and napkins during networking breaks.

Plus don’t miss the Summit Party where African band, Awalé will bring the sounds of Africa to the dancefloor and be sure to taste African classics at the food stations too.
