CANEX WKND 2022 

IS ALMOST HERE

CANEX WKND, presented by the African Export Import Bank (Afreximbank) in partnership with the Government of Côte d’Ivoire will be a 3-day gathering of creatives from across Africa and the diaspora, held in Abidjan between 25-27 November 2022. The event will be an important milestone in Afreximbank’s implementation of the Creative Africa Nexus (CANEX) programme; a multi-faceted intervention aimed at supporting and developing Africa’s rapidly growing creative sector. CANEX WKND will have a strong focus on creating meeting and networking opportunities between creatives, but more importantly between creatives and buyers.
