FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ACCRA, GHANA — March 6, 2027 — In celebration of International Women’s Day, TEDxAccra Women returns on Saturday, February 20, 2027, in Accra, Ghana. Positioned ahead of global International Women’s Day observances on March 8, the event brings together intergenerational voices to explore ideas shaping the future of gender equality, equity, and leadership.
Responding to the urgent question “How Much Longer?”, the 2027 edition convenes under the theme “On Our Terms.” Moving beyond traditional narratives, the platform invites women and allies to challenge inherited assumptions, rethink systemic barriers, and redefine how progress is defined and achieved.
A Stage for Ideas Worth Spreading, TEDxAccra Women 2027 draws inspiration from the enduring legacies of trailblazing African women while creating an intentional platform for powerful voices across disciplines.
"Rather than focusing on résumés or conventional motivational speeches, our curation prioritizes original, substance-driven ideas grounded in evidence, rigorous inquiry, and authentic lived experience," said Paulette Watson MBE, Event Lead for Partnerships and A&R. "We are assembling a multidisciplinary speaker lineup that challenges assumptions and opens up meaningful possibilities for the future."
Call for Strategic Partners & Corporate Alignment
TEDxAccraWomen 2027 offers corporate, institutional, and development partners a compelling opportunity to align with UN Sustainable Development Goal 5 (SDG 5: Gender Equality) and champion transformative ideas across Africa’s creative, economic, and technological landscapes.
