The AVCA 2022 Annual Conference was our first in-person industry gathering since 2019. And this year, we delved deeper to have an open, honest conversation about the future of private equity and venture capital in Africa.
DELEGATES
Network with over 500 delegates from more than 50 countries around the world.
CAPITAL ALLOCATORS
Interact with over 195 institutional investors to gain valuable insights on the industry trends
SPEAKERS
Discuss the most pertinent issue impacting the industry with over 85 industry expert speakers
The 18th Annual AVCA Conference has two objectives:
- Taking stock of an industry navigating change (facing the hard facts)
- Setting out a plan of action to usher in the next wave of private investment in Africa (transformation and recovery)
While the industry has witnessed significant success stories across fundraising and deal-making, there are still challenges such as foreign exchange volatility, political instability, difficult regulatory environments, limited exit options, and the increasing trend of consolidation.
The leading private investment conference in Africa
At the AVCA 2022 Annual Conference, our speakers will share balanced views on the current state of Africa’s private equity and venture capital industry, celebrating the accomplishments and setting out a plan of action to tackle the challenges and turn the tide.
2022 will be the first year that the AVCA offers a hybrid conference. Virtual delegates will enjoy the full conference experience through our state-of-the-art virtual platform.

What our delegates say
There are PE funds, practitioners and investors you'll find at the AVCA conference that you won't see at other conferences. It tends to be a very efficient and effective watering hole where, in a three day period, you can see just about everybody involved in PE in Africa.

In a sea of conferences and networking initiatives, AVCA has consistently been one of the top platforms over the past several years. They offer timely and relevant events and research co-publications valuable for impact and traditional investors, and have strong representation of domestic and foreign investors.
