BREAKING BARRIERS: From Vision to ExecutionBeyond the Screen 2026
Africa Leadership and Impact summit 2026
About this edition
Why we are gathering.
The 2026 edition of the Beyond the Screen conference takes on the gap between what young Africans watch and what they are equipped to build.
Beyond the Screen 2026 gathers young people, experienced leaders, entrepreneurs, policymakers, innovators and professionals for two days of practical leadership development.
Every session is built around one question: what will you build after this?
What to expect
- Leadership masterclasses across nine practical disciplines.
- A mentor lounge pairing participants with industry leaders.
- An innovation lab for aspiring entrepreneurs.
- Entry into the Beyond the Screen alumni network.

Come and build beyond the screen.
Because Africa's future will not be determined by what young people watch on their screens, but by what they choose to build beyond them.
