For 2026, ICEF Africa is heading to Accra – Ghana’s capital and one of Africa’s fastest growing cities. A founding member of the African Union, Ghana is known both for its multicultural population and interest in international affairs, making it the perfect location for this specialist networking event connecting international educators with ICEF-screened recruitment agents from 25+ countries across Africa.
The vast, diverse continent of Africa is a key destination for international student recruitment professionals. A number of countries across Sub-Saharan Africa are showing exceptional potential as source markets, with Nigeria consistently ranking among the top ten countries worldwide for outbound student mobility. Ghana has made significant gains as a growing outbound market, emerging as a top 20 source country for both the US and Canada in recent years. Additionally, Uganda, Côte d’Ivoire, Cameroon, Zimbabwe, Senegal, Tanzania, and Rwanda have all seen increased student interest in studying abroad in recent years.
Held at the 5-star Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City Accra from 24-26 June 2025, ICEF Africa provides a gateway to this important range of student markets.
