This year, Kigali—Africa’s innovation hub known for resilience and transformation, hosts the 7th edition under the powerful theme:
“HR at the Crossroads: Shaping the Future of Workforce Transformation in Africa.”
Expect deep dives into critical questions: How do we build truly inclusive workplaces? How can we adapt to rapid technological and economic shifts? And how do we empower Africa’s workforce to lead globally? With a lineup of visionary speakers, interactive workshops, and cutting-edge tools, including innovations like KaizenMind’s AI-powered L.A.W App, the symposium promises to equip you with everything you need to thrive.
