Every speaker at the Ghana Relocation Summit is vetted before confirmation. We accept speakers based on documented results, verified credentials, and direct relevance to the move our audience is making.
These are the types of voices the 2026 Summit brought to Accra. Every seat in that room was filled by someone making a real decision about their move.

Documented Expertise
You have lived, built, invested, or practiced professionally in Ghana. Your credentials are verifiable and your experience is current. We do not accept speakers based on general familiarity with the continent.
Diaspora Relevance
Your topic directly addresses a question that Black Americans and diaspora members are asking as they prepare to relocate. Every session on our stage must serve the audience's specific move, not a general African interest.
Education Over Promotion
Stage time is for teaching. Product and service promotions belong in the vendor hall. Speakers who use their session to pitch will not be invited back. Applications that read as pitch decks will not be approved.
Stage-Ready Delivery
You can deliver clear, confident, and organized information to a live audience that includes both in-person attendees in Accra and a global virtual broadcast. We will ask for evidence of this in your application.
Please read before applying: Submitting an application does not guarantee an invitation. All applications are reviewed by the Expat Life Ghana team. Accepted speakers are contacted directly by email. We do not provide speaking fees for general panelist positions. Government officials and keynote speakers are contacted separately through official channels and are not part of this application process.

The more specific your answers, the stronger your application. Vague topic descriptions and general bios are not approved. Tell us exactly what you know, exactly who you have helped, and exactly how your session serves a family preparing to move to Ghana.
All applications are reviewed by December 2026. Speaker announcements go out in January 2027. The 2027 program spans two full days and we are actively building the roster across all six B.L.A.X.I.T. pillars, so strong applications submitted early have the best placement options.
If you are here as a future attendee rather than a speaker applicant, the waitlist is your first move. Priority seating, early access pricing, and first announcements before the public. No payment required today.
