AOW announces that its organiser, Hyve Group, has entered into an agreement to sell the event, with completion of the sale targeted for end of July subject to agreed conditions.

Soon, AOW will be under the new leadership of Sankofa Events Limited, led by Paul Sinclair, who is a familiar face having formerly been a part of the AOW leadership team for over five years. Paul holds complete belief in our purpose and has an extensive understanding of the complex and ever-changing African energy market. He also has very exciting plans to expand our brand internationally and invest in our future success.

“I am proud and excited to today take the helm of AOW – an event I have much history with and a brand I firmly believe in the power of. AOW has made extraordinary progress over the last few years, and I am determined to build on that to expand and develop this important event even further. I look forward to working with you all and seeing you at the upcoming event in October.” - Paul Sinclair

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Hyve Group for their support over the last nine years, and the investment which has been made into our event, which has seen us go from strength to strength.

Throughout this period of change, we remain committed to you, our customer community, and continue to work hard to deliver an exceptional 30-year-anniversary-worthy event this October for you.

We can’t wait to see you there.

The AOW team.
