Celebrating its milestone 10th instalment next year, the much-anticipated FORBES WOMAN AFRICA Leading Women Summit will be held on Wednesday, 5 March 2025, as an illuminating and inspiring in-person event at the SunBet Arena, Time Square in Pretoria, South Africa.
Held since 2014 to honor International Women’s Day (8 March), in 2025, as this date falls on a Saturday, the FORBES WOMAN AFRICA Leading Women Summit will take place mid-week, allowing delegates to spend Women’s Day with their families, while not missing a moment of the spell-binding program promised by Africa’s leading women’s event.
This ground-breaking annual summit will welcome African and international visionaries drawn from business, technology, government, arts, entertainment, sports and civil society to address some of the biggest opportunities and challenges facing female leadership today.
“From the artists and storytellers to financial titans, entrepreneurs and history-makers, we’re looking forward to welcoming Africa’s most radical innovators who are leading the next generation,” says Roberta Naicker, Managing Director of the ABN Group.
Renuka Methil, Managing Editor, FORBES AFRICA, adds: “For a decade, our game-changing summit has turned a sharply-focused lens on the trends, topics and themes that matter for the woman of today. At our 10th edition, we will be scripting the next chapter of progress for Africa; with the rule-breaking, reigning future female in mind.”
The 2025 FORBES WOMAN AFRICA Leading Women Summit, which has gained a reputation as a prestigious calendar event for high-profile women both on the African continent and around the world, will feature insightful panel discussions, talks, fireside chats and one-on-one interviews with sector-specific barrier-breakers and powerhouses from Africa and beyond.
After a full day engaging on critical issues and unlocking new opportunities, the summit will culminate in the prestigious 2025 FORBES WOMAN AFRICA Awards, a glittering ceremony where the most accomplished leaders and luminaries will be honored for their impactful work.
