Connecting Commerce, Empowering Markets

The Afro Marketplace Conference is an annual event that focuses on all things marketplaces. The purpose of this event is to cultivate an ecosystem and growth pipeline for marketplace entrepreneurs, investors, and industry experts in Africa. Our aim is to provide a platform for sharing knowledge, exchanging best practices, and welcoming marketplace entrepreneurs and investors at all levels.
The upcoming 2024 event will be the first of its kind in Africa, and we plan to expand it to include all African online marketplace players.
