Africa CEO Forum 2027: preparing your delegation's stay in Abidjan
The organiser has made it official: the 2027 edition of the Africa CEO Forum annual summit will be held in Abidjan. Founded in 2012 by Jeune Afrique Media Group, in partnership with IFC (International Finance Corporation), the forum has become Africa's leading private-sector gathering: the 2026 edition, in Kigali on 14–15 May, brought together 2,800 executives, heads of state and ministers from more than 90 countries. In 2027, that world lands at Félix Houphouët-Boigny airport — and the delegations that prepare their stay early will walk into the summit with a clear mind.
In short: Zénith Conciergerie, a luxury concierge service based in Abidjan, takes care of the executives and delegations attending the Africa CEO Forum 2027 in Abidjan (official dates to be announced): meet-and-greet at Félix Houphouët-Boigny airport, dedicated chauffeur, accommodation, transfers between meetings, business dinners and post-summit extensions. A single WhatsApp contact, a detailed proposal within 24 hours. We are not involved in organising the forum itself.
Africa's leading private-sector summit returns to Abidjan
Abidjan is no stranger to the forum: the city has hosted it before, notably in 2023, with more than 1,800 participants from 70 countries. The 2026 Kigali edition showed the scale the event has reached — 2,800 participants, more than 90 countries represented, and the presence of several heads of state including Paul Kagame, Bola Tinubu, Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema and Mamadi Doumbouya, alongside the continent's leading private-sector figures.
The exact dates of the 2027 edition have not yet been published; recent editions have taken place in May. We will update this page as soon as the official announcement is made — you can also write to us to be kept informed.
A city under pressure, stays that are secured early
When several thousand executives converge on one city over two days, everything tightens: the business hotels of Plateau and Cocody, reliable chauffeurs, meeting rooms, the best tables. Delegations that book early get to choose; the others adapt. That is precisely the work we do upstream for our clients: securing the essentials before the city fills up.
What Zénith Conciergerie organises for your delegation
- Meet-and-greet at Félix Houphouët-Boigny airport: assistance from the jet bridge, smoothed formalities, luggage, personalised welcome.
- Dedicated chauffeur throughout your stay: premium vehicles, transfers between your hotel, the summit venue and your private meetings.
- Accommodation: booking and trade-offs between Abidjan's business addresses, according to the size and rank of your delegation.
- Protocol and agenda: coordination of your meetings on the sidelines of the forum, private meeting room if needed.
- Business dinners: the tables that matter in Abidjan, booked at the right time.
- Post-summit extensions: Assinie or Grand-Bassam to unwind after the summit, in complete discretion.
The arrangements build on our existing services — private jet and transport, business traveller support and luxury concierge in Abidjan — with a single point of contact from the first message to your return flight.
Before, during, after
Before: you describe your delegation — number of people, rank, particular requirements — and we send you a detailed proposal within 24 hours. During: a single WhatsApp contact, reachable at any hour, coordinates everything and absorbs the unexpected. After: return transfers, extensions, follow-up with your local contacts if your Ivorian project takes shape.
