TMG Strategic Advisors | Africa in Global Affairs Networking Event

Join us for a festive Holiday Convening for International Affairs Professionals with an Interest in Africa—an evening designed to bring together practitioners, diplomats, policy leaders, development experts, private-sector partners, scholars, and friends of Africa for meaningful connection and community-building.

This gathering is more than a seasonal celebration. It’s the start of a growing network committed to strengthening collaboration across the Africa-focused ecosystem—development, diplomacy, business, governance, culture, philanthropy, security, and beyond. Whether you work directly on African portfolios or you’re simply passionate about the continent, you’ll find a welcoming space to meet new colleagues, reconnect with peers, and expand your circle.

✨ Warm, relaxed networking with a diverse community of international affairs professionals who share a passion for Africa
🌍 Cross-sector conversations spanning development, diplomacy, business, policy, civic engagement, and global affairs
🤝 Intentional community-building—opportunities to meet new people, spark collaborations, and strengthen existing relationships
🎉 A festive holiday atmosphere with light bites, music, and space to unwind after a busy year
🗺️ A community vision moment—a brief reflection on building sustained social and professional gatherings into 2026
📸 A friendly, low-pressure environment perfect for both seasoned Africa specialists and those newly entering the field

This convening aims to become the first of many regular social events that bring together Africa-engaged professionals across Washington, the diaspora, and the broader global-affairs community. Your presence helps shape a vibrant network rooted in shared interests, mutual support, and a commitment to elevating African perspectives.

Come celebrate the season, meet incredible people, and help us build a stronger, more connected community.
