Lauder Africa Symposium

The Lauder Institute is excited to announce the 2025 Africa Futures Symposium on Friday, April 4th and Saturday, April 5th at the Warwick Hotel in Philadelphia, PA. Our 2025 symposium focuses on the theme of “Navigating Global Uncertainty,” exploring topics related to data governance, food security, geostrategic industries, global competition, regional alliances, and more. Through multi-sectoral and interdisciplinary conversations among practitioners, policymakers, industry leaders, scholars, and others, we aim to centralize Africa’s place and promise in an uncertain world—identifying ways to bolster the continent’s resilience in response. We hope you will join us!
