IBOGA Leadership Summit 2026

22–28 June 2026
Libreville & Moyen-Ogooué, Gabon
A Historic First

Gabon becomes the center of the global conversation

The summit is the first international event on Gabonese soil fully dedicated to Iboga and its contemporary issues.

It creates a dialogue between Bwiti traditional knowledge holders, researchers, neuroscientists, health professionals, cultural leaders, public decision-makers, investors, entrepreneurs, and local communities.

We gather to discuss ancestral knowledge, scientific research, ethics, cultural sovereignty, and future medicine. Innovation is born at the heart of Africa.
