The AMC’s Inaugural Marketing Conference 2022, held at Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, proved a resounding success, with an excellent turnout from the continent’s marketers and top-notch presentations by high-level speakers.

For 2023, the Confederation is again going all-out and will hold its 2nd Africa Marketing Conference in Kampala, Uganda under the auspices of the Uganda Marketers Society (UMS). It takes place from 6-9 September at the Imperial Resort Beach Hotel, situated on the shores of beautiful Lake Victoria.

The theme for this year’s event is ‘Unifying Talent to Power the Continent’ and delegates can once again expect to learn much from seasoned speakers and top industry experts, while enjoying the sights and sounds of Uganda and networking with marketers from across the continent.
