African Creator Summit
OpenLife Nigeria reports that the stage is set once again for Africa’s biggest gathering of digital creators, innovators, and cultural game-changers as the African Creator Summit (ACS) 3.0 returns on January 29th, 2026, under the powerful theme: “Building a Sustainable Ecosystem; Where Africa Trades Its SWAG.”
The African Creator Summit (ACS) is Africa’s leading gathering for digital creators, creative entrepreneurs, and industry professionals. It serves as a platform to empower African voices, connect creative ecosystems, and shape the future of storytelling and innovation across the continent.
Since its inception, ACS has attracted thousands of creators and partners across multiple African regions, amplifying Africa’s presence in the global creative economy.
The summit, now in its third edition, according to information made available to OpenLife, will bring together content creators, tech founders, music stars, marketing executives, creative entrepreneurs, and thought leaders from across Africa and beyond to explore the evolving creator economy, the power of collaboration, and the role of creativity in shaping the continent’s global identity.
A Movement, Not Just a Summit
The African Creator Summit has grown from a simple meetup of digital creators into a continent-wide movement — one that celebrates creativity, culture, and community.
ACS 3.0 promises an immersive experience filled with panel sessions, workshops, creator exhibitions, live showcases, and networking dinners designed to spark meaningful conversations and real collaborations.
“This year, we’re not just talking about content — we’re talking about sustainability, ownership, and the future of African creativity,” said Adewunmi Oladapo Oj, Convener of the African Creator Summit.
“Our theme ‘Trade our SWAG’ is a statement of confidence. It’s about Africans telling their stories with style, worth, authenticity, and growth.”
Music Meets Media — SWAG in Motion
In a special twist this year, the vibes and sound discussion panel will feature some of Africa’s most influential voices in the creative and entertainment scene.
Conversations will center around how sound, storytelling, and digital platforms are redefining African creativity in a global context.
A Pan-African Creative Convergence
ACS 3.0 will host participants from over 15 African countries, including Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, South Africa, Rwanda, Egypt and some francophone countries— bringing together influencers, creative agencies, and emerging talents who are shaping Africa’s digital renaissance.
The Experience Day (January 29) will feature keynotes, panel discussions and exhibitions.
