Africa's business events future is being built in 🌍🤝

A group of senior business events professionals from across Africa are coming together in for the Certified International Convention Executive (CICE) course.

These are experienced leaders investing in their expertise, strengthening their strategic skills and earning a globally recognised certification that demonstrates their professional expertise.

And that matters beyond the individual. Every certified professional strengthens the talent pool and raises standards across Africa's business events industry. Having an advanced international certification delivered from Kigali sends a powerful message: Africa isn't just attracting global business events, it’s building the expertise and leadership to shape their future.

Thank you to our hosts, Rwanda Events Group and Rwanda Convention Bureau, to the Kigali Marriott Hotel, and to our instructors Ivo Franschitz and Mulemwa Moongwa for imparting their knowledge, experience and vision for the future of business events on the African continent.

Can my business skip and still stay ahead? 🌎🤔

Maybe. But why take the risk? The business events landscape is changing fast. Staying ahead means seeing what’s coming, learning across sectors, challenging your thinking and acting before the market does.

Just ask Juan Jose Garcia from Bco Congresos and Noredah Othman from Sabah Convention Bureau. They’ve experienced the value of first-hand, and they’re not alone.

This is what is all about: Different perspectives, meaningful connections, one global stage.

The future is shaped by the people who come together to create it 🌍

In her message to the ICCA community, President Marta Gomes reflects on a year of shared ideas, new connections and progress, and the people at the heart of it all.

As we gather in , is a reminder that the best ideas rarely come from one perspective. They emerge when we connect, challenge each other and see what’s possible together.

Because when we come together, we don’t just shape the future. We make it stronger.
