I ended up at a hotel lounge in Addis Ababa, where a live band welcomed in 2018 with music and sparklers at midnight.

Club founder Nandi Owolo, 30, watched the revelry from a secluded lounge chair, sitting for the first time all day, and marveled at what her little club had become.

The corporate lounge sponsored by Heathrow Airport is another staple of the big conferences.
