Beyond Cultural Borders Conference
Navigating the International Business Landscape
with Global & Intercultural Skills
Kigali, Rwanda
28 - 29 May 2026

Conference Purpose
This conference brings together visionary leaders, entrepreneurs, educators, and professionals to explore how Cultural Intelligence (CQ) empowers individuals and organizations to thrive in the modern global business landscape. Through keynotes, panels, and workshops, participants will learn how culture influences leadership, marketing, product design, business relations, and career growth—and how to turn cultural understanding into a competitive advantage.
Not Just Another Business Conference
Technology has made the world smaller — connecting us across continents, industries, and time zones. But while we work more globally than ever before, our cultures, mindsets, and values continue to shape how we lead, communicate, and collaborate. These differences, when misunderstood, can slow progress — yet when embraced through Cultural Intelligence (CQ), they become the foundation of innovation and success.
The Beyond Borders Conference brings together global leaders, entrepreneurs, and professionals to explore how to function and thrive in today’s complex business landscape. Through inspiring keynotes, expert panels, and interactive workshops, participants will discover how insight, empathy, and agility empower them to build stronger teams, design inclusive products, market effectively across cultures, and form lasting global partnerships.
Join us to unlock the power of culture in business — and learn how to lead beyond borders with intelligence of the mind and heart.
