Conference - We Are Africa

CONFERENCE

SHAPING STORIES OF MODERN AFRICA

We Are Africa’s annual Conference returned for 2016 to shape the stories of modern Africa via our line-up of inspiring speakers. As part of our ambition to challenge the media and tourism industry’s reductive branding of the continent as a single destination, we sought out speakers who are committed to expressing different facets of contemporary Africa’s identity.
