Africa Cyberweek 2026 Security Summit: Where Africa’s CISOs, Governments, and Innovators Shape the Future of Cyber & AI
In 2026 the Cyberweek Africa Conference will mark its fifth year with a single focus word: CYBER THREAT INTELLIGENCE. Cybersecurity, AI and quantum technology are now tightly linked, so we bring together people who run security, technology and risk in their organizations to talk about them as one story instead of three separate topics. Across Four days in Nairobi, participants hear from regional perspectives connect the dots. The programme then moves through security automation, criminal use of AI and the crisis simulations to forward-looking topics such as post-quantum cryptography, agentic AI and robotics, AI governance, data trust and the new skills All organizations need.
