AfricaCom 2026

AfricaCom takes place 17-19 November 2026 at the Cape Town International Convention Centre. The organiser's theme for the edition is powering Africa's digital transformation, and the programme is built around six content pillars: telecoms and connectivity, data centres, AI, cybersecurity, startups, and digital transformation through cloud, fintech and SaaS.

The speaker line-up leans toward operators and policymakers. The announced names include the communications ministers of South Africa and Ghana and senior executives from MTN, Vodacom, Airtel Africa, Orange Middle East and Africa, Cassava Technologies, Equinix, Digital Realty, Microsoft and Amazon.

The event suits telecom operators, data-centre and infrastructure providers, cybersecurity vendors, fintech and cloud companies, and investors looking at African digital markets. Exhibitors get a concentrated route to the buyers and decision-makers who attend from across the continent.
