The fifth edition of the DEN Africa Summit is set to take place on Saturday, November 28, 2026, in Kumasi, Ghana. Organised by Afrika360hub, the event will be hosted by Ghanaian blogger and creative entrepreneur, Boateng Ameyaw1. The summit, themed “From Influence to Impact: Building Businesses That Outlive Trends,” aims to bring together entrepreneurs, creative professionals, business leaders, and young people.
The DEN Africa Summit seeks to encourage young Africans to move beyond social media visibility and influence towards building viable businesses, creating economic opportunities, and establishing lasting legacies. According to Boateng Ameyaw1, the initiative is designed to help young people turn their ideas, creativity, and opportunities into sustainable ventures. He emphasized that influence is important, but what matters more is what is built with that influence.
The 2026 edition of the summit will feature discussions and practical sessions on various topics, including branding, storytelling, business and financial management, leadership, faith, purpose, sustainable creative entrepreneurship, and team management. Participants are expected to gain insights into building authentic brands, strengthening business structures, managing finances, and developing leadership skills required to sustain their ventures.
A key feature of the summit will be the SoCreative Masterclass, a free creative industry learning programme organised in partnership with CEF and the British Council through DEN Africa Academy. This initiative aims to provide participants with opportunities to strengthen their knowledge and skills while exploring possibilities within Africa’s growing creative economy.
The summit will also mark the official launch of Boateng Ameyaw1’s debut book, “GUARD YOUR MIND: The Power of Mental Renewal, Growth & Inner Healing.” The book explores mental renewal, personal development, and inner healing, highlighting their importance in achieving personal growth and living a purposeful life.
Beyond the presentations and masterclasses, the summit will provide opportunities for networking, business connections, and creative collaborations among participants from different professional backgrounds. Organisers say the initiative forms part of a broader effort to develop a generation of African entrepreneurs and creatives who can translate influence into meaningful economic and social impact.
The DEN Africa Summit 2026 is scheduled to begin at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, November 28, at Newspring Assemblies of God, Santasi, Kumasi. Participation is free, and interested individuals can register through the official event website.
