We are delighted to announce that the 21st edition of Africa Down Under (ADU) will be held 6 – 8 September at the Pan Pacific, Perth.  ADU will proceed in its traditional format in Perth with live presentations, face-to-face meetings and networking.

ADU is the leading forum for Australian-African business and government relations and was first launched to raise awareness of Australia’s interests in African mining and energy. The three day meeting has evolved to become the largest African-focused mining event held outside the continent itself which is reflected by the number of high-profile participants who attend each year.

Since our inaugural conference in 2003, ADU has showcased many success stories about Australian companies and organisations working across Africa. ADU is a must attend event for those with projects in Africa and for people and companies interested in investing or doing business in Africa.

In addition to creating a melting pot for pro Africa-Australia relations, ADU forms the principal pillar of “Africa Week”, Australia’s week long celebration of the strong and growing business, social and cultural ties between Australia and the entire African continent. “Africa Week” comprises a full week of satellite events on research, education, infrastructure, sustainable development, capacity building, energy, movies and the arts.

Join us on 6 – 8 September for the 21st edition of ADU, when Perth once again asserts its position as a global capital for African mining, as well as the driving force of African-Australian relations.
