The day's tracks

Six tracks. One future of work in Africa.

Each track is a focused workshop led by practitioners — not theory lectures. Pick your track, attend the full day, and mark your choice at registration.

01
Freelancing

How to build an independent career with stable income — platforms, pricing, contracts, and stories from regional practitioners.

02
AI & Digital Entrepreneurship

Using AI tools to build small ventures — from marketing to product to operations.

03
International Career Pathways

How a young African graduate can build a global career — opportunities, partners, and CV design.

04
University & Postgraduate Opportunities

Scholarships and university pathways — with partners from E-JUST, Alamein International University, and Senghor.

05
Leadership & Employability Skills

The human and professional skills that separate candidates who get hired from everyone else.

06
Networking & Mentoring Lounge

The informal space where you meet mentors, founders, and partners — where opportunities usually begin.

Who this is for

icealex's role

Co-organiser — not just a supporter

icealex is one of three co-organisers of the event — alongside Bibliotheca Alexandrina and Université Senghor. We contribute to the programme design, the track selection, the regional network of speakers and mentors, and the overall participant experience.

This is not one of icealex's own programmes — it is a multi-stakeholder institutional partnership. That is why it sits on the Events page, not the Programmes page.

See you on 22 April

Registration is on the event's official Facebook page. For any question: FutureBelongs.Africa@bibalex.org
