Shaping the Future of MICE: An African-led Vision
The premier platform driving Africa's meetings and events industry forward through innovation, collaboration, and homegrown solutions.
The Africa MICE Summit (AMS) has emerged as the continent's most influential gathering for business events professionals. More than just a conference, AMS represents a movement to establish Africa's rightful place in the global MICE landscape.
"From following global trends to setting them - AMS 2025 marks Africa's transition to becoming a benchmark for business events excellence."
What began as a platform for dialogue has transformed into a catalyst for tangible change. Each year, AMS brings together venue operators, event planners, tourism boards, and policymakers to address both challenges and opportunities unique to the African context.
Unlike other industry events, AMS focuses specifically on solutions tailored to Africa's dynamic markets. We spotlight local success stories, promote intra-African collaboration, and develop standards that reflect our diverse cultural and economic realities.
