We are collaborating with the Pan African Lawyers Union (PALU) to host a dedicated B2B Experience during the upcoming 16th PALU Annual Conference & General Meeting, taking place from 1–2 September 2026 in Cairo, Egypt.

The wider conference convenes from Monday, 31 August, to Wednesday, 2 September 2026, at the InterContinental Cairo Semiramis Hotel.

Shaping the Future of Pan-African Practice

Held under the timely theme:

“The African Lawyer in the Age of Artificial Intelligence (AI): Leveraging Technology to Achieve a Just and Prosperous Africa”

This year’s conference brings together leading legal minds, judges, Senior Counsel, Bar leaders, academics, policymakers, and development partners from across Africa and the diaspora to interrogate how emerging technologies are reshaping the continent’s legal, economic, and institutional landscape.

Our Exclusive B2B Networking Experience (1–2 September)

To foster cross-border collaboration and deal-making, we are hosting a specialized B2B Experience on 1 and 2 September 2026. This curated space is designed to help practitioners, corporate counsel, and regional firms connect, structure cross-jurisdictional partnerships, and explore commercial opportunities across emerging African markets.
