AfricaCom — All Editions

AfricaCom is a technology and telecommunications event in Cape Town, South Africa. The 2026 edition is listed for 17 to 19 November 2026 at the Cape Town International Convention Centre. The organiser's website now presents the event under the name Africa Tech Festival, with the line "Powering Africa's Digital Transformation".

The organiser describes it as one of Africa's largest technology events, bringing telecom leaders, investors, startups, enterprise decision-makers and policymakers together to look at the technologies shaping the continent's digital future. Its programme is arranged around six content pillars: telecoms and connectivity, data centres, AI, cybersecurity, startups, and digital transformation, which the site ties to cloud, fintech and SaaS.

The site lists a long roster of speakers, among them ministers of communications from South Africa and Ghana and senior figures from mobile operators, cloud and data centre providers, banks and retailers. For visitors, the organiser promotes meetings with telecom operators, hyperscalers, investors and enterprise technology leaders, and says content runs across keynote stages, summits and specialist tracks. For companies, it invites tech, telecoms, AI, connectivity and digital infrastructure businesses to take space on the show floor.
