Join Hakeem Belo-Osagie for a faculty address at the 28th Annual Africa Business Conference at Harvard Business School.

African athletes are capturing the world's attention, but the business infrastructure behind them is still being built. This panel explores how marketing, management, and representation in African sports are evolving — from athlete branding and endorsement deals to league development and media rights — and what it will take to build a thriving, African-owned sports industry.

African music is dominating global charts, but who owns the value being created? This panel brings together artists, label executives, and media entrepreneurs to discuss how Africans are taking ownership of their music and media industries — from IP rights and distribution to building platforms that keep value on the continent.

Join Fred Swaniker, Founder and CEO of Sand Technologies, for a keynote exploring how technology can be harnessed as a force for good across the African continent, driving inclusive growth, innovation, and sustainable development.
