BHM has just announced its third-year collaboration with Allison, a global integrated marketing and communications agency, with operations across 50 markets throughout the U.S., Latin America, Europe, Asia, Middle East and Africa, for the Africa Breakfast Conversations on the sidelines of the 81st United Nations General Assembly (UNGA81) in New York City.
The event will take place on Friday, September 25, 2026, at The World Trade Centre. This high-level, invitation-only breakfast gathering will bring together influential leaders from across Africa and beyond to discuss Africa’s next chapter in trade, investment and global influence.
The event will spotlight critical areas of discussion, including trade expansion, investment capital flows, infrastructure development, technology and innovation, and Africa’s evolving role in the global economy. Selected leaders from across the continent will represent key sectors such as financial services, telecommunications, technology, energy, manufacturing, government, multilateral institutions, and regulatory bodies.
Ayẹni Adékúnlé, Founder & CEO, BHM Holdings, emphasizes the significance of this initiative, stating, “The Africa Breakfast Conversations reflects Africa’s transition from potential to performance. As U.S.–Africa commercial relations enter a pivotal period, we are creating a platform where decision-makers can move beyond opportunity narratives toward actionable partnerships that drive mutual prosperity and sustainable growth.”
Attendees can expect a dynamic program featuring panel discussions on where Africa’s next decade of opportunity will emerge, how to finance the continent’s growth at scale, and how to translate Africa’s rising global influence into tangible commercial value. Through this convening, we aim to strengthen strategic partnerships, deepen cross-border investment flows, and position Africa as a central player in the global economic landscape.
