HR Focus Africa Conference set for Oct. 17 in Accra
The HR Focus Africa Conference and Awards 2025, organised by HR Focus Africa, a subsidiary of L’AINE HR, is scheduled to take place on Friday, 17 October, at the Accra International Conference Centre.
The premier continental event will bring together over 1,000 human resource professionals, business leaders, and policymakers from across Africa, both in person and virtually.
This year’s conference is being held under the theme, ‘Equity, Innovation and Impact: Reimagining Work and Talent in Africa’s Emerging Future’, a focus that seeks to position Africa at the centre of global conversations about workplace transformation.
Last year’s edition drew more than 600 top-level HR leaders, firmly establishing the gathering as the continent’s definitive HR platform.
The 2025 programme is expected to deliver even more, with cutting-edge panel discussions, exhibitions of the latest HR technologies, interactive workshops, premium networking sessions, and the much-anticipated awards ceremony.
The HR Focus Africa Awards will once again celebrate excellence across sectors and functions, recognising organisations and individuals that are driving innovation, ethical leadership, and best practices in human resource management.
Honours will include recognition for outstanding HR leadership in industries such as banking, hospitality, healthcare, and manufacturing, as well as awards for innovation in sustainable HR practices and flexible work arrangements.
Individual accolades will also be presented to top-performing managers, practitioners, and rising stars in the profession.
Speaking on the upcoming event, Daniel, Chairman of the Organising Committee, said the conference continues to break new ground in people development and innovation.
“Every year, our focus is to push the boundaries of innovation by creating a platform for shared learning and people development. For thirteen years, we have remained committed to this mission, and we have no intention of stopping now,” he stated.
Managing Director of L’AINE HR, James Laar, described the conference as a reference point for major decisions shaping the world of work in both the private and public sectors.
“The conversations that take place and the connections forged during the conference continue to drive sustainable growth in businesses and across the African ecosystem. This is an event the leadership of L’AINE HR is truly proud of,” he said.
Registration for the event is already open, with ticket options ranging from VIP and Standard to discounted rates for members of the HR Focus Universe. Complimentary tickets have also been reserved for HR Directors. Virtual participation is available to ensure continental-wide engagement.
Organisers say limited exhibition and sponsorship slots are still open for organisations seeking to showcase solutions to an influential audience, making the 2025 conference a unique opportunity for Africa’s HR industry to share knowledge, foster collaboration, and raise professional standards across the continent.
