Lagos/ Faro – 3 December 2025 – Following the successful launch of the first-ever international Afrobeats concert in Portugal on 24 September 2025, the organisers of AFRO EUFÓRICO have unveiled ambitious plans for two flagship international conferences in 2026 that will deepen cultural, academic and economic ties between Africa and Europe.

AE Abuja 2026 – Nigeria The inaugural AFRO EUFÓRICO International Conference will take place in Abuja under the powerful theme: “Touristification, Urban Transformation and Postcolonial Identity – The Abuja Case Study”.

This high-level gathering will bring together academics, policymakers, tourism experts and creative industry leaders to examine how tourism is reshaping one of Africa’s youngest and most dynamic capital cities. Using lenses such as Postcolonial Theory, Cultural Imperialism, Marketing Myopia and Social Exchange Theory, the conference will produce actionable policy recommendations and an official communiqué on sustainable urban tourism across West Africa.

Strategic partners include the Abuja Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI), the National Institute for Hospitality and Tourism (NIHOTOUR) and relevant Nigerian Government ministries. The event will also mark the official global launch of the full AFRO EUFÓRICO Series.

AE Algarve 2026 – Faro, Portugal The follow-up edition moves to Faro, Algarve in September 2026 (proposed venue: AP Eva Senses Hotel) and shifts focus to business and investment.

A select high-level Nigerian delegation of 30–50 CEOs, investors, real estate developers, FinTech founders and government-linked entrepreneurs will meet Portuguese companies for intensive B2B and B2G matchmaking in key sectors:

• Real estate & tourism investment
• Renewable energy & agribusiness
• Technology, start-ups & digital innovation
• Manufacturing, education and logistics

The conference is supported by AICEP Portugal Trade & Invest, VisitAlgarve/VisitPortugal, ACCI, Plantel Euforico Unipessoal Lda (Portugal) and Plantagenet King Limited (Nigeria).

Every delegate will enjoy the exclusive luxury package ALGARVEPHORIA!, a curated premium tour of the Algarve’s legendary sun, beaches and culture, orchestrated by “JD – The Professional”.

Speaking on the announcements, the AFRO EUFÓRICO team stated: “After making history with BMAN’s sold-out concert in Faro, we are now scaling the vision. These two conferences will turn cultural euphoria into concrete policy in Abuja and multimillion-euro deals in the Algarve. Africa and Europe are ready for a new chapter of partnership – and AFRO EUFÓRICO is writing it.”
