Debswana Diamond Company has been confirmed as the Founding Diamond Partner for the inaugural Sub-Saharan Africa Corporate Communications Summit 2026.
The partnership reflects Debswana’s commitment to advancing excellence in corporate communications and supporting platforms that promote knowledge exchange, strategic dialogue and collaboration across the African communications profession.
The Summit will feature four internationally acclaimed keynote speakers: Simon Jones (Strategic Communications Consultant, JGL Associates, UK), Neill Dhillon (Global Public Affairs & Crisis Communications Strategist, Washington D.C.), Hon. Sangoni Diko (Former Spokesperson for President Cyril Ramaphosa, Member of Parliament & Chairperson, Portfolio Committee on Communications and Digital Technologies, South Africa), and François Baird (Founder & Chairman, Baird’s CMC; former Chairman Africa, Washington D.C).
At a time when disinformation, artificial intelligence and increasingly rapid crisis cycles are reshaping the communications landscape, the Summit will examine the evolving responsibilities of the profession and the role of communications in strengthening institutional trust. Debswana’s sponsorship will support the delivery of a platform designed to strengthen professional collaboration, new thinking and elevate the strategic importance of corporate communications across the region.
