FIRST CHAIR
Energy Leadership Edition
A closed, high-level experience for senior energy leaders shaping Africa’s future
Paris | Early summer 2026 | By invitation
A different kind of room
Senior energy leaders operating across Africa rarely have access to spaces where they can truly step outside their day-to-day environment.
Spaces where they can:
- speak freely with true peers
- step back from operational pressure
- engage decision-makers informally
- reflect on their positioning at a global level
This is what First Chair is designed to create.
What it is
First Chair – Energy is a closed, high-level leadership experience bringing together a curated group of 10 senior executives shaping the energy sector across Africa and internationally.
Over 2.5 days in Paris, participants engage in:
- confidential peer exchange
- curated, small-format interactions
- structured strategic reflection
This is not a conference.
Not a training programme.
Not a networking event.
No panels. No visibility play. No noise.
