Who should attend
Per AVPA’s own conference site, three groups are named directly: investors and funders — private equity and venture capital managers, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, family offices, and faith-based investors; policymakers and government regulators shaping Africa’s investment landscape; and academics and thought leaders researching impact-investing trends. The broader stated audience extends to philanthropists, development finance institutions (DFIs), and corporate leaders exploring sustainable financing for African development.
What you get
Registration covers access to the full conference program under the “Beyond Aid” theme, built around moving African development finance beyond traditional donor aid toward sustainable, blended, and private-capital models. AVPA notes that photographs, video, and audio from the event may be used in its own promotional materials — a standard consent term worth knowing before attending. Both preregistration and full delegate ticket purchase are available; delegate tickets are explicitly non-transferable and non-refundable once bought.
How to apply
