PORT HARCOURT, RIVERS, NIGERIA, August 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Totlesoft Announces ADLAS 2026 to Unite Global AI Leaders Around Africa's Emerging AI Workforce
Free virtual summit will bring together founders, AI experts, entrepreneurs, researchers, and industry leaders to explore Africa's role in building the next generation of artificial intelligence.
Totlesoft has officially announced the inaugural AI Data Labeling Africa Summit (ADLAS 2026), a free virtual conference scheduled for 15 August 2026, bringing together technology leaders, AI entrepreneurs, startup founders, researchers, educators, and workforce development experts from Africa and around the world.
As Artificial Intelligence rapidly reshapes industries, ADLAS 2026 seeks to position Africa as a key contributor to the global AI ecosystem by focusing on one of its fastest-growing sectors: AI data labeling, human feedback, AI evaluation, and digital workforce development.
The summit comes at a time when demand for high-quality AI training data and human intelligence services continues to grow alongside the rapid adoption of generative AI technologies worldwide.
Hosted by Totlesoft, ADLAS 2026 aims to bridge the gap between awareness and opportunity by helping students, professionals, entrepreneurs, businesses, policymakers, and institutions understand where Africa fits within the evolving AI economy.
International Speakers Join the Inaugural Summit
Several respected technology and innovation leaders have already confirmed their participation.

Building Africa's Human Infrastructure for AI
According to Christotle Agholor, Founder of Totlesoft and Conference Chair of ADLAS 2026, Africa's greatest opportunity in Artificial Intelligence extends beyond building AI models.
"Artificial Intelligence is creating entirely new categories of work that depend on human expertise. Africa possesses one of the world's youngest and fastest-growing talent populations. ADLAS was created to connect that talent with practical opportunities in the global AI economy while encouraging collaboration between technology companies, educational institutions, startups, governments, and development partners."
He added that AI workforce development has become an essential component of digital economic growth and that collaboration will be critical in ensuring African professionals are prepared for future opportunities.
A Platform for Collaboration
ADLAS 2026 has also opened invitations to technology companies, universities, innovation hubs, startup ecosystems, government agencies, investors, media organizations, and development partners interested in supporting Africa's AI future.
Participation is free, and attendees who complete the summit will receive a digital participation certificate.
