Our Impact

I was honored to be asked to speak at such a fascinating event. The Leadership Africa Summit demonstrated inspirational content, quality education and inclusive fellowship. The Summit was so impactful that I took away more than I contributed.

The Leadership Africa Summit is a critical platform in reshaping Africa's narrative, particularly in the West. The conference provides a unique opportunity to learn, network, and connect with members of the diaspora with a shared interest in Africa.

— Sandra Appiah, CEO of Face2Face Africa, New York City, NY

The Leadership Africa Summit was one of the most significant events for Omaha in 2019. The diversity and inclusion - through programming, speakers, and logistics - was well planned and implemented. The national and international speakers brought an inspiring and global perspective. The Summit is a must-attend event for 2020!

    Anyone taking time to attend the Global Leadership Africa Summit will agree that it is a very positive learning experience, with programming well aimed to enhance skills and inform attendees of terrific opportunities in local, national and international business. The networking opportunities are impressive and for the City of Omaha, this event is a signature and visible attraction that highlights opportunities that have too often been overlooked. The event and regional attendance were impressive. Don't miss the next one.

    Global Leadership Africa Summit was a phenomenal all encompassing conference. Bringing not only the community together with one goal of improving and empowering the continent of Africa. Boris Kodjoe’s exceptional keynote speech was not only moving but a powerful testament when action and unity can coincide together.
