What’s Happening in Lusaka This Month? Tell Us, and Tell Everyone Else Too

There's always something happening in Lusaka, the trouble is getting people to hear about it. Here's how to list your event on Zambian Economist and reach an audience that's already looking.

Ask ten people in Lusaka what’s on this weekend and you’ll get ten different answers pieced together from WhatsApp groups, a poster taped to a fuel station window, and someone’s cousin who “heard about it.” There’s no shortage of things happening in this city. Business breakfasts, product launches, comedy nights, church conferences, trade fairs, youth summits, agricultural shows, music festivals, wellness retreats. What’s missing is one place people actually think to check.

That’s the gap we built the Zambian Economist Events page to close.

Why this matters more than a flyer

A flyer reaches the people who already walked past it. A WhatsApp status reaches the people already in your circle. An event listed on zambianeconomist.com reaches the people actively searching for something to do, read by an audience that already comes to the site for business news, economic updates and the kind of readers who show up to things on time and bring their networks with them.

If you’re organising a conference, a market activation, a product launch, a fundraiser, a training workshop or a community event anywhere in Zambia, and you want more than your existing contact list to know about it, this is built for exactly that.

What you get

For K1,000 per event, your listing runs for 90 days on the Zambian Economist Events page, with:

  • A dedicated event page with your details, date, venue and description
  • Visibility to our regular readership of business owners, professionals and decision makers across Zambia
  • A shareable link you can send out yourself, so the credibility of an established platform travels with your own promotion
  • The option to bundle with a directory listing or advertising placement if you want a bigger footprint

It’s a straightforward way to put a real event in front of people who are already in the habit of checking this site, instead of hoping a poster gets noticed.

How to list your event

Head to zambianeconomist.com/events/ and submit your event details directly through the site. Payment is processed securely at checkout.

Prefer to talk it through first, or listing multiple events and want a package rate? Reach out directly:

Phone: +260 775 574 228
Email: info@zambianeconomist.com

We’re also happy to send a media kit with audience numbers if that helps you make the case internally before you commit.

Over to you

So, what’s on your calendar? If you’ve got something coming up in Lusaka, or anywhere else in Zambia, that deserves more than a WhatsApp forward, list it with us. And if you’re just looking for something to do this month, keep an eye on the Events page. This is where it’ll be.
