Homebound with Habesha Networks: Forum

The Homebound Forum is the flagship networking and thought-leadership event, bringing together local and diaspora leaders, creatives, and entrepreneurs to inspire connection and innovation across the global Habesha community.

This year’s Forum,“Culture as Currency,” examines how culture drives Ethiopia’s modern economy at the intersection of creativity, commerce, and community—and how ideas turn into influence, income, and impact.

Through fireside conversations and panel discussions, guests will dive into creative entrepreneurship, the business of managing talent, the rise of Ethiopia’s creator economy, and the role of community as a catalyst for growth. The Forum also features live business pitches, audience Q&A, and time to connect with builders shaping what’s next—while celebrating the creative power moving Ethiopia forward.
