Call for Exhibition Partners: 8th Southern Africa Youth Forum 2026

The 8th Southern Africa Youth Forum invites organizations, businesses, institutions, innovators, and development partners to participate as Exhibition Partners at this premier regional gathering of young leaders and stakeholders from across Southern Africa.

Scheduled to take place from 21–24 July 2026 in Johannesburg, South Africa, the Forum will convene youth leaders, policymakers, development practitioners, entrepreneurs, academics, and private sector representatives from all 16 SADC Member States under the theme:

“Nourishing Futures: Enhancing Food Security and Water Resilience through Sustainable Agriculture and Climate Action for Youth Empowerment.”

This year’s Forum will provide a dynamic platform for dialogue, knowledge sharing, innovation showcase, and collaboration on some of the region’s most pressing challenges and opportunities. As an Exhibition Partner, you will have the unique opportunity to showcase your products, services, programmes, technologies, and innovations to a diverse audience of influential stakeholders committed to advancing youth empowerment, climate resilience, sustainable agriculture, and food security.

Participating exhibitors will gain valuable visibility, strengthen their networks, engage directly with potential partners and beneficiaries, and position their brands as contributors to sustainable development and youth-led transformation across the Southern African region.

Whether you are promoting agricultural innovations, climate-smart technologies, water management solutions, youth development initiatives, financial services, educational programmes, or other impactful solutions, the Forum offers an ideal environment to connect, collaborate, and inspire.

We encourage interested organizations and businesses to secure their exhibition space and be part of this transformative regional event.
