ACCES CONFERENCE FAQ

What is the cost to attend ACCES?

The 2025 ACCES price policy is as follows:

AFRICAN DELEGATES

  • Conference (conference sessions, workshops, exhibitions, and networking): registration is FREE for all African delegates.
  • Showcase festival: tickets for the Showcase Festival are sold separately (check the ACCES home page for more information).

INTERNATIONAL DELEGATES

  • All-access pass: $100

I am an expat living in Africa and only want to attend evening performances. What ticket should I get?

How does ACCES differentiate between African and Non African delegates?

African delegates are all legally recognized citizens or nationals of an African state, either native or naturalized.

Are there any opportunities for me to perform?

Yes, every year ACCES provides showcasing opportunities to emerging African artists. The call for showcasing for 2025 is now closed.
