The Africa Down Under (ADU) Summit is the largest African-focused mining event held outside the continent, attracting high-profile participants annually.

The summit serves as a key platform for Africa-Australia relations, promoting business, social, and cultural ties between the two regions.

Since its inaugural conference in 2003, ADU has showcased many success stories about Australian companies and organisations working across Africa.

Additionally, it creates a melting pot for pro Africa-Australia relations, forming the principal pillar for “Africa Week”, Australia’s Week and long celebration of strong and growing business, social and cultural ties between Australia and the African continent.
