Two-day anniversary event brings 44 exhibitors, 16 speakers, property expertise and an expanded Lifestyle Pavilion to the Business Design Centre

The Ghana Property & Lifestyle Expo will mark its 10th anniversary with a flagship London edition on Friday 16 and Saturday 17 October 2026 at the Business Design Centre in Islington. The free two-day event will connect the diaspora, international investors, families and businesses with trusted opportunities across Ghanaian property, finance, business, tourism and lifestyle.

Held under the theme “A Decade of Impact: Bridging Continents, Building Futures,” the anniversary edition is being delivered in collaboration with the Ghana High Commission UK. It will bring together 44 property and lifestyle exhibitors and 16 expert speakers, giving visitors direct access to developers, banks, legal and investment specialists, public institutions and Ghanaian and African-owned brands.

“Ten years ago, we created this platform to give the diaspora direct access to credible organisations and the confidence to make informed decisions about Ghana. This anniversary celebrates how far the community has come, while opening the next chapter across property, finance, business, culture and lifestyle.”
Anna Agyekum and Victoria Agyekum, Co-Founders of the Ghana Property & Lifestyle Expo
