BHM to host 2nd edition of Africa Breakfast Conversations at UNGA80
Global communications company BHM has announced the second edition of Africa Breakfast Conversations, set to take place on the sidelines of the 80th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA80) in New York.
Organised in partnership with global marketing firm Allison and The King’s Trust, the invite-only event will be held on Friday, September 26, 2025, at the World Trade Centre. It will convene influential leaders from across Africa and the world to discuss African-led innovation, sustainable development, and opportunities for growth on the continent.
According to the social media statement seen by Neusroom, the high-level gathering will host Africa’s brightest minds, global leaders and change makers all driving one agenda: Africa’s growth story.
With 70% of sub-Saharan Africa’s population under the age of 30 and forecasts indicating that by 2030, one in five people globally will be African, the conversations will spotlight the continent’s potential as the world’s largest workforce and a hub for innovation-led growth.
The high-level gathering will explore themes spanning big business, technology, pop culture and the creative economy, soft power, and geopolitics. The program will feature panel sessions, keynote addresses, and networking opportunities, while Allison Africa will also launch the second edition of its Africa Business Cultural Intelligence Report.
“This is more than an event; it’s a platform for action,” said BHM founder Ayeni Adekunle. “The Africa Breakfast Conversations harness dialogue to create connections that drive investment, innovation, and impact.”
Claudine Moore, Managing Director, Africa at Allison, highlighted Africa’s rising influence: “Africa’s innovation story is no longer emerging—it’s here. This gathering is about moving from conversation to collaboration.”
Will Straw, CEO of King’s Trust International, added: “By equipping young people with skills and opportunities, we can help shape Africa’s—and the world’s—future.”
The BHM says the initiative aims to strengthen Africa’s global perception as an investment-friendly region and forge new international partnerships.
