About
Where faith
& business converge
The C12 Africa Catalyst Conference is a biennial gathering of Christian CEOs, business owners, executives and organisational leaders from across Africa and beyond.
For two
focused days
in Pretoria
Leaders step away from daily operations to engage the deeper calling of their work — integrating faith and enterprise not as separate pursuits, but as one unified mandate.
This conference exists to strengthen
The ecosystem
of Christian
business
Across the continent and equip leaders building organisations that reflect Kingdom purpose.
Built on five
catalytic pillars

Connect Kingdom Leaders
