Irving, Texas, USA – September 16, 2026 – The East Africa Business Network (EABN) is preparing to convene business leaders, investors, entrepreneurs, professionals and members of the African diaspora for its 21st Annual Trade & Investment Conference, taking place October 2-3, 2026, at The Westin Irving Convention Center at Las Colinas in Irving, Texas.

Centered around the powerful theme, “Building Wealth Across Borders: Capital, Innovation, Investment & Opportunity,” the two-day conference is designed to move beyond conversation and create meaningful connections between those seeking investment opportunities, business expansion, international partnerships and greater access to East African and U.S. markets.

For more than two decades, EABN has worked to connect businesses, entrepreneurs, investors and professionals across East Africa, the United States and the global diaspora. Through trade, investment, education, strategic partnerships and economic-development initiatives, the organization helps create pathways for meaningful business relationships and wealth-building across borders.

The 2026 conference will bring together voices and opportunities across key areas including finance, real estate, women’s leadership, emerging technology, trade and investment. Attendees will have opportunities to engage in business networking, explore exhibitor offerings, establish new relationships and connect with individuals and organizations interested in expanding their reach between North America and East Africa.

The experience will culminate with an elegant Dinner Gala and Red Carpet experience, creating an additional environment for celebration, visibility and high-level relationship building.

Where Global Opportunity Meets Strategic Access

EABN’s work extends far beyond a single annual conference. The organization serves as a bridge between investors, middle-market business leaders, corporate executives, exporters and importers, government delegations and the broader African diaspora. Its network connects individuals and organizations through international trade forums, diplomatic and government circles, investor networks, industry conferences, regional chambers, export councils and economic-development communities.

Through these relationships, EABN helps facilitate opportunities including:

• Cross-Border Business Connections — Bringing together investors and enterprises in North America with opportunities throughout East Africa.

• Executive and Diplomatic Access — Creating opportunities to connect with ambassadors, government leaders, executives, trade commissioners and other influential decision-makers.

• Market Entry and Investment Insight — Providing access to conversations surrounding regional trade, foreign direct investment, local market entry and public-private partnerships.

• Business and Brand Visibility — Offering companies opportunities for strategic exposure through EABN events, sponsorships and year-round promotional platforms.

• International Relationship Building — Developing a trusted 501(c)(3) ecosystem where entrepreneurs, corporations, investors and professionals can build relationships capable of producing long-term economic impact.

More Than Networking — Building an Economic Bridge

Originally established as the East Africa Chamber of Commerce, the East Africa Business Network has evolved into a 501(c5)(3) non-profit organization focused on accelerating international trade, investment and cross-border commercial partnerships between North America and the East African Community (EAC). Its network brings together investors, corporate executives, entrepreneurs and diplomatic leaders across sectors including real estate, agribusiness, energy, technology, healthcare and financial services. Through its flagship Annual Trade & Investment Conference and year-round initiatives, EABN creates opportunities for deal-making, market intelligence and sustainable economic collaboration.

The organization’s broader mission reflects an increasingly important reality: economic opportunity is no longer limited by geography. Entrepreneurs, investors and organizations that understand how to build relationships across markets can create new pathways for growth, impact and generational wealth.
