About the 2025 ALG
The Annual Leaders Gathering is LéO Africa Institute/s premier platform for catalyzing conversations on transformative leadership in Africa & the world.
As we convene the 65th edition, we build on five years of impactful dialogue, collaboration, and leadership development that have brought together changemakers, innovators, and visionaries committed to Africa's progress.
In an era marked by rapid change, complex challenges, and unprecedented opportunities, the imperative for collaborative and transformative leadership has never been greater. The 2025 gathering recognizes that sustainable impact is not achieved in isolation but through collective effort, shared vision, and a commitment to excellence that transcends individual achievements.

The theme for the 2021 Annual Leaders Gathering, Building Resilient Lives and ‘Imagined Communities’, is inspired by the need to re-imagine our sense of community in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
Starting in 2020, the Annual Leaders Gathering takes place every November and has gained reputation as an essential platform for significant conversations on ideas and issues impacting society – making it the signature public convening for the LéO Africa Institute’s growing network.
