Africa Cyberweek 2026 Security Summit. The Premier Event for CISOs Looking to Innovate Security Strategy.
In 2026, the CYBERWEEKAFRICA Conference will celebrate its fifth edition under a single unifying theme: Cyber Threat Intelligence. As cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and quantum technologies become increasingly interconnected, the conference brings together leaders in security, technology, and risk to explore these areas as a cohesive narrative rather than as separate disciplines. Over four days in Nairobi, participants will gain insights from regional perspectives that help connect the broader landscape. The programme will cover topics such as security automation, the criminal use of AI, and crisis simulations, before moving toward forward-looking themes including post-quantum cryptography, agentic AI and robotics, AI governance, data trust, and the essential new skills organisations must develop for the future.
