Growmie, an app where creators and instructors earn by teaching live classes, plans to hold its first Growmie Global Summit in Cairo, Egypt, in the third quarter of 2027. It is offering 50 volunteers sponsored flights, visas and accommodation to help run it, the summit’s Facebook page said this weekend.
Key facts
- When and where: two days in Cairo in the third quarter of 2027, with 300 to 500 delegates expected. No dates or venue yet (The Sun).
- Volunteers: 50 places with flights, visa and accommodation covered. The first volunteer meeting is on Saturday 12 December 2026 at 8am in Port Harcourt, and online in the Growmie app (Growmie Global Summit).
- Not yet announced: speakers, registration and delegate prices.
The organisers say more than 300 people are already on a volunteer waitlist, including Egyptians, and that they expect delegates from more than 10 African countries, Growmie’s founder, Amadi Harry Excellent, wrote on Facebook from Cairo on 15 November. “It is a global gathering, and we are building a truly international team,” he wrote.
The summit will cover entrepreneurship, investment, technology, innovation and business development, and end with a trip to the Pyramids of Giza, The Sun reported. The organisers want it to become an annual summit that moves between cities.
Why it matters: Growmie’s founder runs his businesses from Port Harcourt, and the summit’s first volunteer meeting is there. Choosing Cairo, a hub between African and Middle Eastern business, is a bet that a creator platform from Rivers State can build an international network. Growmie hasn’t published user numbers, so the speakers, partners and delegate price will show how big that network is.
What is Growmie?
Growmie’s iPhone app, published by Growmie Software Limited, describes it as an EdTech platform for creators, instructors and experts, who can earn by hosting live classes (App Store). The first version appeared in June 2025.
Its Growmie University offers recorded and live classes on practical skills meant to earn an income, ThisDay reported in July 2025. Amadi, who also runs the Hamrex Group, a Port Harcourt real estate, construction, investment, technology and media group, lists Growmie University among its businesses (Harry Excellent Amadi).
“We believe meaningful opportunities often begin when people from different backgrounds, industries and markets come together,” he said, according to The Sun.
How to volunteer, and what it costs
The first volunteer meeting is on Saturday 12 December 2026 at 8am at JEMP, beside the National Open University on NTA Road, Port Harcourt, as part of the Port Harcourt Youth Convention Experience. It will also be streamed live in the Growmie app, according to the summit’s meeting notice.
Not every place on the trip will be free. The same notice says the meeting will explain “how to qualify for the Egypt trip”, “travel arrangements and participation packages” and “affordable payment arrangements” for the trip. The organisers have also posted a warning about scammers: they “will NEVER ask you to pay money to qualify for selection, volunteering, or participation” in the summit’s travel experience. They haven’t said how the 50 sponsored places will be chosen, or what the paid packages will cost.
What’s next
We couldn’t find an application form or selection criteria on the page when we checked on 15 November. Speakers, registration and delegate prices for the summit will be announced later, the organisers say. If you’re interested, deal only with the summit’s official page and the Growmie app, and don’t pay anyone who promises you a place.
