Organisers of the 100 Most Notable Africans Leadership and Business Summit have announced a slight adjustment to the date of the 2026 edition, following extensive consultations with stakeholders across the continent.
The event, organised by Davdan Peace and Advocacy Foundation, will now hold from June 26 to June 28, 2026, instead of the earlier scheduled dates of June 19 to June 21.
In a statement on Monday, Project Director, Amb Dr Kingsley Amafibe, said the decision reflects the organisation’s responsiveness to stakeholder feedback, particularly in accommodating participants whose schedules are influenced by key religious and international engagements.
According to him, the adjustment in schedule allows for broader participation from delegates across Africa and the diaspora.
“The new dates are June 26 to 28, 2026. Delegates are expected to arrive on June 25, with a meet-and-greet session with speakers slated for June 26. The main summit and exhibition will take centre stage on June 27 at 9:00 a.m., followed by the black tie gala dinner, and awards ceremony later that day,” Amafibe stated.
He further disclosed that a world-class venue has been secured for the event in Marrakech, underscoring the prestige associated with the annual gathering. The summit will take place at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès Marrakech, located within the Mövenpick Hotel complex.
Amafibe urged top chief executives and business leaders across Africa to take advantage of the summit’s high-level networking opportunities to forge strategic partnerships and drive continental growth.
The summit will also feature the conferment of honours on 100 distinguished individuals recognised as Most Notable Peace Icons Africa, celebrating exceptional contributions to governance, business, innovation, and community development across Africa.
Among prominent personalities listed to be honoured are Nigerian music star Wizkid and South African global sensation Tyla.
Amafibe noted that the summit remains a leading platform for fostering collaboration, promoting leadership excellence, and advancing impactful initiatives across the continent.
He added that the 2026 edition is expected to attract high-level delegates, including policymakers, entrepreneurs, investors, and peace advocates from across Africa and beyond.
