The ACE Conference
A platform for Young African Leaders.
The ACE Conference is organised by the Board of the ACE Foundation in collaboration with the International Law Students' Association, UNIBEN Chapter. The Young African Leaders theme is geared at creating a platform to support and bolster the growth and development of young African leaders, with the aim of promoting active participation in the international space.
Being a regional-based platform, the fulcrum of its establishment is charting a pathway for a new legal and sustainable framework for the continent — while also promoting professional growth, academic success and the development of skills needed to be a young African leader, dominant in the International Law Space.
Why we exist
