Pan African DataCentres Exhibition & Conference 2026 returns on 23–24 June 2026 at the Sandton Convention Centre, Johannesburg, bringing together the organisations, technologies, and people shaping the future of Africa’s datacentres & digital infrastructure. As the continent’s leading event dedicated to data centres and critical environments, Pan African DataCentres delivers a unique, face-to-face platform where operators, investors, engineers, consultants, and technology providers come together, to network, share experiences and source solutions.

Africa’s data centre market is entering a new phase of growth as demand increases for cloud services, hyper scale capacity, AI workloads, data sovereignty, and digital transformation across public and private sectors. South Africa remains the continent’s primary hub, with approximately 700 MW of committed capacity and a colocation market forecast to grow from US $410 million to US $843 million by 2030. At the same time, development is accelerating across Kenya, Nigeria, Egypt, Morocco, Ghana, and other emerging markets. Pan African DataCentres sits at the centre of this momentum, providing companies with an exclusive opportunity to position themselves where key decisions are being made.

The free-to-attend exhibition connects solution providers directly with a targeted audience of buyers and specifiers actively delivering data centre and critical environments projects across Africa. Bringing together hyperscalers, colocation operators, developers, engineers, consultants, and end users who are building, expanding, and upgrading facilities. This is not a passive audience, but a market actively sourcing solutions for real-world requirements across power, cooling, cabling, connectivity, operations, design, and build. The exhibition is an ideal platform to showcase your products and services to an audience of buyers and specifiers, who by attending have pre-qualified themselves as actively seeking products services and solutions for their businesses.

Running adjacent to the exhibition is a multi-stream C-level conference programme, combining both strategic and operational insight, available to registered delegates only. The strategy stream explores the key drivers, opportunities, and challenges shaping Africa’s data centre market, such as investment, site selection, sustainability, and talent retention. While the operational stream focuses on best practise, technologies, and innovative solutions to improve efficiency, performance, and resilience, including discussions on datacentre design, power, cooling, maintenance and standby generation, etc.

The Pan African DataCentres event represents a unique opportunity to position your company and its brand, in front of the people driving Africa’s data centre & digital infrastructure growth. Whether you are entering the African market, expanding your footprint, or strengthening existing relationships, exhibiting provides direct access to the decision-makers.
