The Africa Female CEO Conference (AFCC) is set to spotlight the continent’s most influential women business leaders who are breaking boundaries and shaping Africa’s economic future. Taking place in Lagos on September 18, 2025, at Radisson Blu, GRA Ikeja, Lagos, AFCC is a high-level gathering designed to celebrate, equip, and connect female executives, founders, and changemakers from across Africa. With a powerful line-up of speakers and strategic sessions, the conference promises to be a defining moment for women-led leadership and innovation on the continent.
The AFCC is more than an event—it is a symbol of inspiration, empowerment, and transformation for women across Africa. Created to celebrate and elevate African women who are rewriting the rules of business, leadership, and innovation, the AFCC is a platform where ambition meets action, and potential is boldly unlocked.
The room will be filled with dynamic, trailblazing female CEOs, founders, entrepreneurs, and senior executives—all united by a shared passion for redefining the African economic landscape. These are women who have shattered glass ceilings, disrupted industries, and demonstrated the courage and conviction to lead change in sectors traditionally dominated by men. AFCC offers an unprecedented opportunity to listen, learn, and connect with these leaders who are driving sustainable growth, expanding access to capital, and influencing policy to build a fairer, more inclusive business environment across the continent.
A recent report by the World Economic Forum reveals that women account for 58% of Africa’s self-employed population, contributing approximately 13% to the continent’s GDP. Sub-Saharan Africa also records the highest rate of female entrepreneurship globally, at 26%. Yet, despite these remarkable statistics, persistent gender gaps continue to limit women’s full economic participation. Closing these gaps could unlock an additional $2.5 trillion for Africa’s GDP.
“This is precisely why the Africa Female CEO Conference (AFCC) exists — to serve as a transformative platform that amplifies women’s leadership, drives strategic positioning, and accelerates their influence in shaping Africa’s economic future,” says Ishioma Imokhai-Bello, Convener, Africa Female CEO Conference (AFCC).
This one-day event will immerse attendees in a world of innovation and strategic thinking. From thought-provoking panel sessions to fireside chats and keynote addresses, every conversation at AFCC is designed to spark transformation. The agenda features bold, actionable insights to help women scale businesses, elevate their leadership, and deepen their impact in their communities and industries.
