Boardroom Governance Summit Africa 2026 moves to November

The Boardroom Governance Summit (BGS) Africa 2026 has been rescheduled from October 7 to Thursday, November 12, 2026.

The summit will be held at the Labadi Beach Hotel in Accra under the theme “Board Committees: From Oversight to Impact.”

According to the organisers, the decision to change the date followed consultations with principal partners, speakers and guests of honour.

They said interest in the summit has grown significantly beyond initial expectations, with a substantial portion of the interest now coming from outside Ghana.

The additional time, organisers said, will allow chairpersons, directors and governance leaders from across Africa to make the necessary travel and visa arrangements to attend the event in Ghana.

BGS Africa Founder and Convenor, Ing. Prof. Douglas K. Boateng, said the growing international interest in the summit had transformed it from a Ghanaian event into a continental gathering.

“What began as a Ghanaian gathering now belongs to the whole continent. The rest of Africa is coming to Ghana, and we want to properly receive our fellow Africans.

“A short delay is a modest price for a summit that is better prepared, more inclusive and truly continental in reach,” he said.

The organisers have stressed that the summit has not been cancelled and will go ahead on the new date.

All registrations and tickets already issued remain valid, while delegate benefits will remain unchanged.
