An initiative of The Association of Professional Business and Data Analysts (APBDA) in partnership with the Centre for Business Analysis (CBA), CPC and Stratiq Consult
About the Summit
From defining the future to actively shaping it
The Business Analysis Summit 2026 stands as the premier gathering for professionals dedicated to steering the future of strategic change across the continent. Building upon the remarkable momentum of our inaugural event, this year's summit transitions from defining the future to actively shaping it. Africa's data revolution is no longer a distant horizon; it is a present reality.
Last year, the summit established itself as a landmark event, drawing over 800 delegates and receiving prestigious royal patronage from His Royal Highness King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, the Ga Mantse. In 2026, we are committed to going further — expanding our reach to over 1,000 delegates and introducing the inaugural BA Excellence Awards to recognise the trailblazers driving measurable impact in the field.
