Africa Tech Festival’s main conference and exhibition runs from 17–19 November 2026 at the Cape Town International Convention Centre.
The organiser says VIP and partner events begin on 16 November, explaining why some programme listings show a four-day date range.
The event covers telecoms, data centres, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, startups and digital transformation. Its programme includes masterclasses alongside broader industry sessions.
Visitors should distinguish public access from invitation-only activities and check the pass appropriate to their plans. For the sector, the strongest value will come from useful technical and commercial connections that continue after the exhibition closes, rather than announcements made solely for the stage.
