Abstract Access to scientific meetings and conferences is limited in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMIC). Efforts are being implemented to rectify this issue through short workshops, seminars, and conferences. Sena Institute of Technology (SIT), a nonprofit research institute based in Ghana, is one such organization championing this initiative. Through a partnership with the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB), SIT hosted the first FASEB conference in Africa from August 27–30, 2023 in Ghana. The 3‐day conference brought together scientists specialized in imaging, genetics, and cell biology from across the globe to discuss the theme “Imaging Cellular and Chromosome Dynamics.” The Ghanaian Ministry of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation (MESTI) and the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) provided local support to the meeting. At the end of the conference, participants recommended continuing engagement and the organization of more such meetings on the African continent.
