By our African Marketing Confederation News Team | 2024

As in past two years, the TICON Africa IT conference will be hosted concurrently with the marketing gathering.

Ghana has been confirmed as the host of the 2025 African Marketing Confederation conference. This was announced at the conclusion of the 2024 AMC Marketing Forum in Mombasa, Kenya on Friday (27 September). 

 

As in the previous two years, the TICON Africa information technology (IT) conference will be hosted concurrently with the marketing gathering. This is in recognition of the growing synergies between the two sectors in the age of big data, AI and related technologies.

The awarding of the event to Ghana marks the first time that the AMC’s conference will be held in West Africa. The host is the Chartered Institute of Marketing, Ghana (CIMG), one of the founding members of the African Marketing Confederation. 

 

Previous hosts of the conference are Zimbabwe, Uganda and, most recently, Kenya. 

 

To jubilant celebrations, AMC President, Helen McIntee, officially handed over the baton to Ghana, noting that Kenya had “set the bar remarkably high” in 2024.  

 

The Chartered Institute of Marketing, Ghana (CIMG) was founded in July 1981 with the vision to be the voice of marketing practice in Ghana under the Professional Bodies Registration Act 1973. The institute assists organisations, both private and public, to embrace the marketing concept and be marketing oriented in their operations. 

 

In 2020, the CIMG was granted a Parliamentary Act 1021, which gives it the mandate to regulate the standard in marketing practice and the training of marketing professionals in Ghana. 

 

As such, it sets standards for the practice of marketing and regulates the practice of the marketing profession in the country. 

 

The date and venue of the 2025 conference will be announced in due course.
