Executives Under 40 Conclave (EU40)V- APPLY NOW!

Overview

The Executives Under 40 Conclave (EU40) is a one-day premier gathering of Africa’s most promising and proven young executives from the private, public, civil, and tech sectors. This powerful platform is designed to provoke thought, connect influence, and prepare a new generation of African leaders to rise boldly, lead wisely, and impact globally.

Curated by Bishop Dr. Gideon Titi-Ofei, a foremost leadership authority and Chancellor of the University of Gold Coast, EU40 is not just a conference—it is a movement to accelerate purpose, leadership, and nation-building among under-40s. The conclave will serve as both a launching pad and learning platform for executives driven by conviction, not just ambition.

Strategic Relevance

Africa’s leadership challenge is not a lack of talent—but a delay in trust and transition. EU40, led by Bishop Dr. Gideon Titi-Ofei, dares to challenge this status quo by preparing a generation to lead now, not later.

This conclave is more than a seat at the table—it is a call to build your own.

“I have raised thousands of leaders and mentored scores of young executives. What I’ve seen is this—potential without preparation leads to frustration. EU40 is the womb of preparation, the stage of sharpening, and the arena of transformation. If you’re under 40 and leading or longing to lead—this day is for you.”
— Bishop Dr. Gideon Titi-Ofei
