About the event

Meet Bosco Kioko from the Enginatics team at the Africa Tech Festival!
Africa Tech Festival is the 29th edition of the continent’s largest technology event, incorporating the long-running AfricaCom and AfricaTech conferences under a single festival brand. The 2026 programme is built around six core pillars: Telecoms and Connectivity, Data Centres and Cloud Services, Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Startups, and Digital Transformation. It is organised by Informa Festivals and draws telecom operators, investors, hyperscalers, enterprise decision-makers, startups and policymakers from across Africa and further afield. The festival occupies both CTICC buildings, with the exhibition floor, conference tracks and partner activity running alongside a dedicated startup programme. The organiser’s own event record and registration page give the full span as 16 – 19 November, with the main conference days running 17 – 19 November.
