Empowering Dialogue, Driving Investment
Now in its 10th year, The Africa Debate has become a cornerstone gathering for high-level discussions on Africa’s role in a rapidly evolving global order. Hosted at London’s Guildhall, this annual event convenes heads of state, investors, global business leaders, policymakers, and innovators to debate strategy, sustainability, and the continent’s next chapter.
RG Jones is proud to have delivered full event production services for both the 2024 and 2025 editions, supporting our client’s vision with creative, seamless, and technically flawless delivery in one of London’s most iconic civic venues.
In 2024, keynote speaker Idris Elba captivated the audience with his vision for sustainable investment—discussing the eco-smart city he’s developing off the coast of Sierra Leone, and a new film studio in Tanzania to bolster African storytelling on the global stage.
Extending thanks to Luke, Xander and your team for all your help putting together the production and set builds for our event… Everything worked out smoothly… The lighting and branding in the Crypt made it look very atmospheric. It was a pleasure working with you, and we look forward to a future opportunity to work with RG Jones.
