First Afro Meet Talk Live: Let’s Talk Events!

On Tuesday, 27 October 2026 at 8:30 p.m., we hosted our first Afro Meet Talk on TikTok. A space to discuss African events, share experiences and give both organisers and audiences a voice.

A first discussion about ticket buying

For this opening session, we chose a question that sparks debate: "Why do Africans always buy their tickets at the last minute?"

Trust, buying habits, prices and possible improvements were at the heart of the conversation. The session offered an opportunity to compare experiences and discuss the challenges of organising events.

Our guest speakers

Melissa Art moderated the discussion, joined by:

• Phanuel The_Speaker, promoter at Tambour Club;
• Bryce Ngatchou, Baskamerun / The Brain Strategies;
• MC Padré, host;
• Sylvain Djongue, president of Challenge Camerounais e.V., our surprise guest.

Thank you to each speaker for taking part and contributing to the conversation!

This first live session recorded 602 views. Over approximately two and a half hours, we held a discussion followed by event presentations.
