ABOUT TALKCOMMS SUMMIT
The TalkComms 2025 Summit is the maiden edition of Africa’s first Pan-African platform for communication students and young professionals. Hosted at The Zone, Gbagada, Lagos, it brings together 200+ students, 20+ universities, and leading voices in PR, media, and digital storytelling to explore “The Future of Communication: Trends, Tech & Transformation.”
At TalkComms, we believe storytelling is the heartbeat of Africa’s future. We exist to connect, equip, and amplify the next generation of African communicators—through mentorship, hands-on training, and opportunities to engage directly with brands and thought leaders shaping the continent’s narrative.
With over 65% of graduates lacking practical experience (UNESCO, 2023), the summit bridges the gap between classroom theory and industry reality, empowering students to turn their ideas into impact and their voices into influence.
The future of communication in Africa starts here: one story, one student, one conversation at a time.
