A panel discussion on the ARIIS main stage

Day one builds trust. Day two moves capital.

Detailed session times and the full speaker line-up are published from October 2026.

Running order

Two days, hour by hour.

The Africa Stage carries the argument; a parallel forum runs the Invest In desks, A.W.I.R.E and the Innovation Corner; the floor never closes. Pick the sessions you want and take them with you — the calendar file opens in Outlook, Apple Calendar and Google.

Provisional running order. The sequence is settled; the clock is indicative until ARIIS confirms session times and the full line-up from October 2026.
