Some of Africa’s most talented people will come across Africa, Europe, U.S and around the world to voice their Inspiration and motivation at the TEDxEuston event on Saturday 2 December 2017 at the Mermaid Conference Centre, central London.
The amazing line-up includes co-founder of She Leads Africa Afua Osei; Co-Founder of Flutterwave – the digital payment interface Iyin Aboyeji; BBC broadcaster Zeinab Badawi, former Prime Minister of Mozambique Luisa Dias Diogo among others.
This year’s event will be hosted by renowned multi-award winning comedian Eddie Kadi and BBC presenter and 2015 winner of BBC World News’ Komla Dumor Award Nancy Kacungira.
The theme of this year’s TEDxEuston is “Metamorphosis” – a topic which alludes to the changes and progress made on the African continent in recent years.
Now in its eighth year, TEDxEuston – an independently organized TED-like event organized under licence from TED – is a global landmark occasion for Africans, and those with a passion for the continent.
People from across Africa, the USA, the UK and other European countries will travel to London to be part of this inspirational day.
This celebration of Africa’s finest has historically drawn some of the world’s most recognised names, including serial entrepreneur Fred Swaniker, best-selling author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and CNN’s Zain Asher.
