Allison, a renowned communications consultancy, and BHM, Africa’s leading public relations firm, will co-host an exclusive breakfast event during the 79th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA79) in New York City. The event, titled “Africa Breakfast Convos,”will take place on September 27 at the World Trade Centre, bringing together key business and public sector leaders from across Africa.
The event will feature participants from sectors such as telecommunications, finance, entertainment, government, technology, and trade, providing a platform for discussing Africa’s role in global progress. With 70% of sub-Saharan Africa’s population under 30, and estimates suggesting that by 2030 one-fifth of the world’s population will be African, the continent’s youthful demographics are gaining global attention.
According to a statement, the Africa Breakfast Convos will showcase the continent’s vast potential for economic growth while emphasizing its contribution to sustainable development goals. The gathering will include panel discussions, keynote speeches, and networking opportunities focused on topics such as big business, technology, pop culture, the creative economy, soft power, and geopolitics.
Claudine Moore, Managing Director of Allison, Africa, remarked, “The ‘Africa Breakfast Convos’ offers a unique platform to unite influential voices and decision-makers across Africa and beyond. We are excited to facilitate meaningful dialogue during the UN General Assembly when Africa is a central focus, and together, we work towards sustainable growth and social impact across the continent.”
Femi Falodun, Executive Director of BHM, added, “This event highlights Africa as a land of opportunity for investment and collaboration. By showcasing the continent’s dynamism and potential, we aim to foster partnerships that drive shared prosperity and sustainable development.”
The Africa Breakfast Convos is aligned with the theme of UNGA79 and will spotlight Africa’s potential to drive global progress. It will also explore the role of business in promoting sustainable development, the importance of public-private partnerships, and opportunities for collaboration with Africans in the diaspora.
This exclusive event aims to strengthen Africa’s position as a global force, drawing attention to its growing economic and cultural influence.
