WHY SPEAK<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The Stage And The Audience<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

CITS26 brings 10,000 people to Yaound\u00e9 over three days. Students, founders, engineers, buyers and ministers, alongside investors and delegations travelling in from Germany, the United States and across Africa. If you have something worth saying, this is the room where it lands on people who can use it.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n \t\t\t

An International Room<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Our last edition drew more than 8,000 people on site and 50,000 online. CITS26 targets ten thousand across three days, with national media in the room and international delegations in the audience.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Share What You Have Actually Done<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The strongest sessions come from people describing real decisions, real numbers and real mistakes. If you built it, ran it, funded it or regulated it, this is the stage for it.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

You Are Not Guessing What We Want<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

All 140 sessions are published, each with a stated audience and a stated takeaway. Choose one and put yourself forward for it, or bring us something new.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

New Voices Encouraged<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

You do not need a speaking record to apply. If you have an impactful story or deep startup insight, we will help you bring it to life on stage. What matters is the substance of the session and what the room walks away with.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n

\n
\n \t\t\t

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t

What Makes A Standout Session<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

What the Programme Committee consistently rewards.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n \t\t\t

One Clear Takeaway<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Finish this sentence in a single line: attendees will leave with... If you cannot, the session is not ready yet.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Grounded Here<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

A Cameroonian or African case, voice or dataset. Not a framework imported wholesale from somewhere with different constraints.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Something They Keep<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

A template, a checklist, a worksheet, a starter file. The best sessions send people home with an object, not only a feeling.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

English or French<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Sessions run in either language. Cameroon works in both and so does this programme. Tell us which one you will present in.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n

Professional Recording and Promotion<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Your session is professionally recorded and promoted across the summit channels.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

Speakers' Reception and Happy Hours<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t
