Membership
A year in the room.
What membership includes, what it costs and how to join. Every member is reviewed before joining, and nothing is charged until you are approved.
What you leave each year with.
The Network is built to do five things for the people in it, all year, and not only for three days at the Summit.
Practical learning, in an African context
Trusted relationships with your peers
Market intelligence across borders
Opportunities for your career and your visibility
A hand in shaping the profession's public agenda
What members receive.
Three kinds of value: standing in the profession, access at the Summit, and a working network for the rest of the year.
Access
A closer seat at the Summit.
- Member pricing on Africa Global PR Week Summit passes
- A members-only breakfast and closed-door speaker sessions at the Summit
- Early sight of the speaker line-up and agenda
- The full post-event package: recordings, slides, summaries and templates
Value all year
In the Network app, every week of the year.

How membership works.
Founding members
The first individual members to join pay the founding price, and keep it for their first two years. Founding places are limited. A place is confirmed when payment is made, and the offer closes without notice once the places are taken.
Your year
Membership runs for twelve months from the day you pay. We email you before it ends. A renewal starts when your current term finishes, so renewing early never costs you days.
If you do not renew
Access continues for a short grace period and then pauses. Nothing is deleted: your profile, your connections and your conversations are kept, and return the moment you renew.
Agencies
One agency membership covers a set number of people, the account holder included. The account holder invites colleagues from their account and can move a place when the team changes. Each person has their own verified profile.
Students and early-career
A limited number of places at a reduced rate, for students and for professionals between roles. It matters to us that the next generation is in the room from the start.
Paying
By card, in US dollars, on a secure page run by Paystack. Organisations can pay by bank transfer against an invoice: once you are approved, write to network@africaprweek.com.
How to join.
Approval is not automatic. We may decline an application that does not meet the current criteria or capacity.
Apply, or be invited
Tell us about your work. Existing members and the organising team can also invite you directly.
We review
Every application is read by a person, on a rolling basis. Approval is not automatic.
Your whitelist code
If you are approved, we send a personal whitelist code and a private payment link.
Welcome to the room
Your membership starts the day you pay and runs for twelve months.
Questions, answered.
Who can join?
People working in and around African communications: practitioners, agency leaders, journalists and editors, creators, creatives, academics and students. Membership is by application or invitation, and every member is reviewed before joining.
Why is there a whitelist?
Most professional groups grow by volume. We grow by curation, so that the Network stays a trusted room where relationships and opportunities move careers and agencies forward. That means approval is not automatic, and we may decline an application that does not meet the current criteria or capacity.
What is a founding member?
The first individual members to join pay the founding price, and keep it for their first two years. Founding places are limited, are confirmed when payment is made, and close without notice once they are taken.
How long does membership run?
Twelve months from the day you pay. We email you before it ends, and renewing early never costs you days: a renewal starts when your current term finishes.
Is a Summit pass included?
No. Membership and Summit passes are separate. Members receive member pricing on passes, a members-only breakfast and closed-door sessions at the Summit, and the full post-event package.
Can my organisation pay by invoice or bank transfer?
Yes. Once you are approved, write to network@africaprweek.com and we will send an invoice. Your membership starts when the transfer arrives.
How does an agency membership work?
One agency membership covers a set number of people, the account holder included. The account holder invites colleagues from their account, and each has their own profile in the directory.
I joined the Network before membership was paid. What changes?
Your profile, your connections and your conversations stay exactly as they are. Sign in to your account to see your options, which include a founding place while they last.
Is a whitelist code transferable?
No. A whitelist code is personal: it works only with the email address it was sent to, and membership is individual.
