Your schedule. Your target markets. Room to breathe.
Five global pop-ups across four weeks.
Completely at your own pace.
Instead of compressing the entire continent into three exhausting days, Around Africa spreads targeted windows across dedicated regional show weeks. You don’t have to battle time-zone fatigue; you simply dip into the specific market days that suit your product focus. All appointments are direct, high-quality 20-minute video connections hosted entirely inside the platform – no messy external links required.
