The 12th African Achievers Awards and International Summit held at the elegant Imperial College, part of the Imperial Venues, Queens Gate, South Kensington, London was a huge success. This exclusive event was attended by 150 dignitaries, organisations and industries from across the globe.
The venue initially intended for this event, the House of Parliament at Westminster, had to be changed with the sad passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Every year the choice of venue is for the purpose of setting an international stage to showcase the Top African Achievers in Africa and the pursuit for excellence.
