African Creators Summit

About Us

The summit is an annual gathering designed to spotlight, support, and connect content creators across Africa’s rapidly evolving creative economy.

Empowering Africa’s Creative Revolution

The African Creators Summit (ACS) is more than an event — it’s a movement. 

Founded in 2023 by visionary creators Oladapo Adewunmi (Apollo) and Unique Kings Obi, ACS was born out of a deep conviction: that Africa’s storytellers, digital innovators, and culture shapers deserve a central stage, not just to be heard, but to lead. The summit is an annual gathering designed to spotlight, support, and connect content creators across Africa’s rapidly evolving creative economy.

Connecting Creators

From podcasters and skit makers to filmmakers, fashion designers, tech innovators, and digital entrepreneurs, ACS is a space where dreams, ideas, and cultures converge.

With thousands of participants from over 15 African countries and growing, the African Creators Summit has become the largest creator-focused gathering on the continent.

Why ACS Matters

Africa is home to the world’s youngest, most connected generation — a population bursting with talent, creativity, and cultural capital. Yet, many creators still face barriers: lack of access, funding, exposure, and sustainable structures. At ACS, we are bridging those gaps by:

  • Championing authentic African stories
  • Facilitating creator-brand partnerships
  • Driving conversations around ethics, inclusion, sustainability and wellness in content creation
  • Promoting intellectual property awareness
  • Creating access to resources, training, and visibility at scale.

From The Founder

“We didn’t build ACS just to gather people - we built it to ignite something. African creators have always had the ideas. What they’ve often lacked is access, community, and visibility. ACS is the bridge.”
– Oladapo Adewunmi (Apollo), Co-Founder
