The TalkComms Summit 2026, originally scheduled for November 27–28, 2026, has been postponed.
This decision follows a review of the preparations and resources required to deliver the experience to the standard we envision.
The idea behind TalkComms’ Beyond Visibility 2026 was to take conversations about communication beyond traditional conferences and panel discussions and into real-world experiences that demonstrate how people interact, connect, and communicate.
We envisioned a two-day experience featuring the University Cup, fireside chats, panel sessions, digital games, a Win-a-Laptop competition, networking hangouts, and several other engaging activities. It was designed to be more than just a gathering; it was an opportunity to bring communication to life through learning, interaction, competition, and meaningful connections.
Given the scale of our vision and the experience we hope to deliver, we believe additional time will allow us to build a stronger programme, deepen our partnerships, and create greater value for everyone involved.
Our mission remains unchanged: to build and equip the next generation of African communicators by connecting students and young professionals with industry leaders, developing their practical skills, and amplifying their voices to shape how Africa’s stories are told.
To our partners, sponsors, and student communities, we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience or disruption this postponement may cause. We remain committed to making TalkComms Summit an experience worth the wait, and we promise to return stronger, better prepared, and more impactful.
The new date will be announced soon
Thank you for your continued support, understanding, and belief in our vision.
Signed
Oluwasegun Ogundairo
