About The Summit
Born in Africa. Built for Africa.
The Social Impact Marketing Summit and Awards (SIMS) is Africa's first and foremost conference dedicated to the intersection of marketing, digital strategy, and social impact. Since our inaugural edition, we've been on one mission: equipping African nonprofit leaders and NGO professionals with the skills and tools to drive extraordinary impact.
We've hosted two fully virtual editions and brought the community together in person in Lagos, Nigeria — and we're not slowing down. The 2026 edition goes deeper than ever, putting artificial intelligence at the center of everything.

AI for African Nonprofits: Powering a New Age of Social Impact
Artificial intelligence isn't just for tech giants and Silicon Valley startups. It's for you, the changemaker on the ground, the leader stretching every naira, cedi, and shilling to its limit. This summit will show you exactly how to harness AI to raise more funds, tell better stories, reach wider audiences, and create lasting impact.
