Having successfully hosted the Brand Summit South Africa in Cape Town in May 2018, then in Sandton, South Africa, in June 2019, calls have continued to grow for the event’s thematic and strategic reach to expand further to embrace the entire African continent, as destination perception issues at country-level also reappear at continental level, at home and abroad, to inform attitudes about cities, regions, countries, and the entire African continent.

The theme of the Africa Brand Summit 2020 “Recapturing the South African Narrative; Interrogating Africa’s Brand Potential” will set the scene to analyse evolving perceptions about Africa and to recommend practical steps for generating global goodwill, developing skills of the future, and progressively realising a sustainably integrated African economy.

As in the past, the summit aims to continue attracting delegates from South Africa, elsewhere in Africa, Europe, North America, Asia, and other parts of the world. The discussions we propose to host cannot be insular in a world that is increasingly connected by technology and the mobility of humans, skills, and investor funds.

To our partners, we offer a week-long basket of opportunities to explore our host city and region (Cape Town & The Western Cape), meet like-minded professionals, potential business partners, and clients.

The present prospectus offers an array of networking, showcasing, and branding opportunities guaranteed to facilitate dynamic engagements with many key influencers, including strategic decision-makers. However, the partnership opportunities set out in it are not exhaustive. We’re open to discuss new partnership ideas that are sure to contribute meaningfully to make the Africa Brand Summit the best event of its kind.
