Kotoka International Airport (ACC) is located approximately 10km from the event venue (Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City Accra), and it’s typically reachable within 30-45 minutes depending on traffic.
Accra’s airport has two main terminals:
Taxis
Taxis are readily available 24 hours a day at Kotoka International Airport. You’ll find official airport taxis as well as other reputable taxi services. It’s advisable to agree on the fare with the driver before starting your journey, as most taxis do not have meters. You can also use ride-sharing apps like Uber or Bolt, which are popular in Accra and offer fixed pricing.
We recommend bringing materials with you or sourcing a local supplier as the hotel is responsible only for receiving the materials; they do not handle customs clearance, delivery logistics, or the payment of duties and taxes.
Package arrival date: From Monday, 22 June 2026 onwards. The venue is unable to store any items received before this date, as a result they may not be accepted.
Package preparation: Please bear in mind that you will have a maximum of 38 pre-scheduled meetings when calculating the amount of promotional materials to send.
Shipping label: Please use this label on all packages so they are easily identifiable onsite.
Courier: Please contact a courier of your choice and remember to include a proforma invoice. Inspections of deliveries with incomplete documents can take up to four weeks.
Sustainable alternatives: To reduce the use of paper, you can also upload up to five documents, three videos and up to eight photos into your Marcom eSchedule PRO profile and make them available to agents prior to, during, and for four weeks after the event.
Please also consider using local suppliers to cut down on international shipping.
Wifi: Please be aware that although wifi will be provided, we recommend downloading your event materials, presentations and videos directly to your device for your meetings. This helps reduce GHG emissions and ensures the network traffic is not overloaded.
If you’d like to make an impression at your dedicated table here are some suggestions to help you stand out:
Please note that only organisations with a display table may bring a pull up banner. We are unable to facilitate any form of pull up banner in the meeting hall space. All branding must be kept to table top items only.
Share the event badges on your social media networks to spread the word and let everyone know you’re attending. Don’t forget to use the #ICEF hashtag and tag us @icefglobal! And if you’re a speaker or sponsor, please ask your account manager for your personalised social media badge.
*Not applicable to accompanying persons/guests
You will receive access to our online meeting scheduling tool, Marcom eSchedule PRO, approximately 5 weeks prior to the event, allowing you to send personalised meeting requests to targeted contacts based on source country or type of programme.
If you are using Marcom eSchedule PRO for the first time, we recommend that you visit the below links to make the most of the platform:
Scheduling meetings during the event
To make the most of your participation, meetings can be scheduled once the event has started, up to one hour before the requested meeting time.
We recommend that you leave Marcom eSchedule PRO open throughout the event and regularly refresh the page to keep an eye on the latest meeting requests that may come through.
Please note that you will not be provided with a printed copy of your schedule at the event.
If you’re looking to increase your brand visibility and heighten your networking potential, why not consider sponsorship opportunities?
Advertising at ICEF Africa and other ICEF events helps build your brand, grow your business and provide significant international exposure. Visit our website to view the available sponsorship items or contact your account manager to build a customised package.
You will be able to collect your badge and welcome bag from the ICEF hospitality desk in front of the Adlon Ballroom from 13:00 on Wednesday 24 June and from 08:00 on Thursday 25 June.
As this is an invitation-only event, anyone not wearing a badge may not be admitted into the event area. Please also understand that for the same reason, we cannot allow non-registered family, friends or staff to enter the meeting hall.
If you change your representative at the event it is important you inform your account manager of this in advance before arriving, otherwise you may experience delays at registration.
Join us on the first day of the event for a programme of seminars and presentations providing up-to-date information about the latest market trends and issues relevant to international education and student mobility.

To ensure that we are able to provide the best experience for all attendees, we would like to draw your attention to two sections in our event terms and conditions. Section 11 specifically prohibits participants from organising any side event (be it hospitality, seminar, or tour), which entices attendees to leave during the programme. Should you wish to organise an event outside of programme times, where attendance is linked to the ICEF event, then ICEF must be notified in advance and approval must be received in writing.
Additionally, section 12 mandates that any event, seminar, party, reception or tour organised before or after an ICEF event, with the intention of attracting or inviting event attendees, must be applied for and authorised no less than three months in advance.
If you have any questions prior to the event, please do not hesitate to contact us by email to icef-africa-providers@icef.com.
We look forward to welcoming you to Accra!
