Africa Development Conference 2025

Africa by 2040: The Future of Africa's Youth

April 11 to April 12, 2025

Africa’s Demographic Dividend: Opportunity or Challenge?

Join us at Harvard for an impactful gathering of leaders, changemakers, and innovators as we explore the pivotal role of Africa’s youth in shaping the continent’s future.

ADC is a student-led event at Harvard University that fosters meaningful dialogue on Africa’s development. Each year, it brings together voices from the continent and worldwide to exchange ideas, inspire action, and explore solutions to the continent’s most pressing challenges.

Connect, Collaborate, and Be Inspired

ADC 2025 is more than an event — it’s a space to meet and learn from people who share a passion for Africa’s future. Over two days, you’ll have the chance to connect with global leaders, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and changemakers in an intimate and engaging setting. Whether looking for fresh perspectives, potential collaborators, or simply meaningful conversations, ADC offers a unique opportunity to grow your network and exchange ideas that matter.
