Membership

Open to the whole LBS community.

You don't need prior experience in African markets to join — just genuine interest. Membership is open to current students across all LBS programmes and to alumni of any graduating year.

Two ways to join

Student and alumni membership.

Current students

Student membership

Open to students on the MBA, Masters in Finance, Executive MBA and other LBS programmes. Membership is free and gives you priority access to the Africa Business Summit, treks, mentoring and committee elections.

Graduates

Alumni membership

Open to LBS alumni of any year. Stay connected to the network, get invited back for the Summit, and support current students through mentoring and recruiting.
