Join this urgent agenda to help shape a thriving future for Afrika.

We explore one of the most pressing questions in the world of design today:

How do we build trust, tell our stories, cultivate future-fit skills and design the systems and solutions that truly help people, communities, cities and nature across Afrika to thrive?

Pan Afrikan Design Week 2026 is a hybrid Pan-Afrikan gathering that brings together designers, innovators, entrepreneurs, educators, students, young people, thought leaders, policymakers, business leaders, cultural practitioners, changemakers and future-builders from across Afrika and the diaspora.

This is not a conventional design conference.

It is a space for people across sectors who think differently, connect meaningfully and contribute to a more thriving future.
