The Program Review Board is the creative engine behind Design Week Africa’s content. Composed of respected thought leaders, educators, and industry disruptors, this team curates, vets, and elevates every session—from masterclasses to plenary panels.
They do not just approve topics—they shape narratives, challenge convention, and ensure each conversation reflects the energy, urgency, and innovation Africa deserves.
