LIFT is FilAfrik's flagship annual summit — the premier gathering for African and Black entrepreneurs, professionals, students, and community builders in Ontario.
Now in its third year, LIFT 3.0 is our most ambitious event yet. This is not a networking mixer. This is a full-day, high-impact experience designed to equip you with the strategies, connections, and mindset to build a business that outlasts you.
Expect power panels, live pitch competitions, expert-led sessions, marketplace activations, and curated conversations with investors, policymakers, and industry leaders — all in one room.
