Held at the Radisson Blu in Nairobi under the theme "Break the Mold," the conference draws over 800 delegates from more than 50 countries, representing fund managers with combined assets under management exceeding 1.5 trillion dollars. The African Venture Capital Association's conference functions as the principal annual convergence of the global institutional community with African investment exposure. Its geographic breadth reflects the increasingly international character of African private capital: pan-African fund managers, country-specific operators, global LPs with Africa allocations, development finance institutions, and the growing domestic institutional investor base across Sub-Saharan Africa and North Africa all attend. Nairobi's selection as host city reflects East Africa's position as one of the most active private capital markets on the continent, alongside West Africa's Lagos and Southern Africa's Johannesburg. For development finance institutions and institutional LPs building African allocations, the AVCA conference provides the deepest annual concentration of managers, co-investors, and peers on the continent.
