National Youth Leadership Summit — NYLEAD.
An annual gathering — a convergence of Africa's emerging leaders and some of the continent's most influential business executives, policymakers, innovators, entrepreneurs and industry pioneers.
More than a conference, NYLEAD is a platform for bold ideas, transformative conversations and future-focused leadership. NYLEAD discusses the state of the nation, and how young leaders can drive meaningful change.
