6th AFRICA FINANCE FESTIVAL (AFF) 2026

Uniting finance leaders, entrepreneurs, regulators and policymakers to drive African growth.
Theme: “Future Forward: Building Resilient, Sustainable & Digital Finance Systems for Africa”
Following the incredible success of the CFO & Public Finance Conference over the years, the conference has now evolved into a broader, future-ready platform: Africa Finance Festival (AFF). This festival brings together public and private sector leaders, innovators, policymakers, and professionals across the finance industry to shape the continent’s financial transformation agenda.

AFF sets a new standard for finance convenings as immersive, multi-track experiences showcasing thought leadership, policy innovation, technology, and impact.
Africa’s economic growth hinges on robust financial systems.

The AFF responds to the need for a collaborative forum that connects public finance, corporate finance, taxation, ESG, and financial technology into one cohesive conversation.
