The International Association of Facilitators (IAF) Africa Region invites you to contribute to an inspiring and future-focused gathering at the IAF Africa Conference 2026 – Facilitating Africa’s Future in the Digital Era: People, Processes and Platforms.

We are now accepting proposals from facilitators, practitioners, academics, and innovators who are shaping how groups collaborate, learn, and lead in an increasingly digital world.

This three-day conference will bring together diverse voices from across Africa and beyond to explore how facilitation can drive innovation, entrepreneurship, and inclusive development.

We welcome proposals aligned with our three core sub-themes:

• People: Building inclusive human capacity across gender, youth, and rural communities to thrive in the digital era
• Processes (Methods, Frameworks & Tools): Advancing facilitation approaches that support digital literacy and sustainable development
• Platforms (Infrastructure & Technology): Leveraging digital tools and technologies to enable collaboration, learning, and innovation

If you have insights, tools, or experiences to share, this is your opportunity to contribute to a dynamic, pan-African dialogue.

Submission deadline: 30 May 2026

Join us in shaping the future of facilitation in Africa.
