The African Workforce Summit (AWS) 2026, themed “SLINGSHOT,” is one of Africa’s leading future-of-work and career development conferences designed to equip young professionals, founders, employers, HR leaders, and innovators with the skills, networks, and opportunities needed to thrive in the modern workforce.
Scheduled to hold in Lagos, Nigeria, AWS 2026 is expected to bring together over 5,000 attendees, including industry leaders, employers, entrepreneurs, recruiters, policymakers, and emerging talent from across Africa.
