Every summit needs speakers brave enough to stand up and say what needs to be said. This is your invitation.
Voices Into Africa is calling for speakers from every country, culture and community across Africa to take the stage at Echoes of Tomorrow, the 5th Annual Pan African Speaker Summit, on 11-12 September 2026.
This year’s theme — Echoes of Tomorrow — is asking for talks that do exactly that: stories, lessons and ideas that travel beyond where they started. We want keynotes that challenge, rapid-fire talks that spark, and panel conversations that leave audiences thinking differently about their industry, their community, or themselves.
Whether you’re a seasoned keynote speaker, a facilitator finding your stage voice, a trainer with hard-won lessons, or a coach who has never addressed a summit audience before — if you have something worth saying to Africa’s speaking community, we want to hear from you.
This is a Speakers-for-Speakers event. No speaker fees are paid — every speaker on our stage is here because they believe in the same movement: giving African expertise the platform it deserves, on the continent and on the world stage.
How to apply
- Step 1: Purchase your Summit ticket. Every speaker — established or aspiring — attends as a delegate first.
- Step 2: Once you’ve registered, you’ll receive access to the official Call for Speakers form, where you can submit your topic, format and short bio for consideration.
Speaking slots are limited and reviewed on a rolling basis, so early applications carry the best chance of selection.
This is more than a speaking opportunity. Selected speakers join the Red Jacket Speaker Bureau network, get connected with professional speaker associations across the continent, and become part of a movement shaping the next generation of African thought leadership.
Your story might be exactly what someone, somewhere in Africa, needs to hear. Step up. Apply to speak.
