Phaneroo Ministries International is set to bring together students from universities, technical colleges, vocational schools and specialised training institutions for the fifth edition of the Global Inter-University Conference (GIC) on November 14, 2026.
The conference, scheduled to start at 2:00pm at Phaneroo Grounds in Naguru, Kampala, will focus on equipping young people with spiritual, leadership and practical skills to navigate education, careers and personal development.
Now in its fifth year, GIC has grown into an annual gathering targeting young people in higher learning institutions across Uganda and beyond, with organisers saying the event is designed to combine spiritual growth with opportunities for professional development.
According to Phaneroo Ministries, participants will have access to counselling, corporate networking and career-building opportunities through partnerships with leading organisations.
The conference will also feature a student talent showcase covering music, dance and drama, with prizes for outstanding performers.
Apostle Grace Lubega, the Vision Bearer of Phaneroo Ministries, said the conference is intended to prepare young people to take up leadership roles in society.
“We believe that this generation carries tremendous potential to transform nations,” Lubega said at last year’s conference.
“The Global Inter-University Conference exists to raise young people who are spiritually grounded, intellectually equipped, and prepared to lead with excellence in every sphere of society.”
This year’s edition will feature international speakers, including globally recognised leadership coach and author Dr Cindy Trimm and Apostle Felix Okoh of House of Treasures Ministries in Johannesburg.
Zambian gospel artiste Pompi will headline the worship and ministry segment alongside several Ugandan gospel ministers.
Organisers say previous editions have attracted testimonies from participants who reported experiences ranging from healing and restored hope to academic and financial breakthroughs.
Phaneroo said comprehensive security arrangements have been put in place and that the necessary permissions from relevant authorities have been obtained.
The ministry added that it is working with security agencies and other partners to provide a secure environment for attendees, while food and beverages will be available for purchase at the venue.
The 2026 conference is therefore expected to bring together spiritual, educational and career-focused activities under one platform, with students also getting an opportunity to connect with peers, professionals and organisations.
