Domain Summit Africa 2026

We are the largest B2B domain industry event in Africa this 2026 for domain name service providers, registrars, domain investors, IT entrepreneurs, and industry leaders.

Held at the Villa Rosa Kempinski in Nairobi, this two-day pure business event is an ultimate business hub for networking, insights, and doing business in Africa.

 

Notes:

  1. This year in Nairobi we plan to have +-90% of the speakers from Africa.
  2. There will be a number of side events and networking drinks evenings. Please contact the companies you work with and your friends to get on these exclusive lists.
  3. We highly advice all attendees staying at Villa Rosa Kempinski where most our business leaders will stay. You want to have that chance to network and be seen during the breakfast, and at later hours in the restaurants and other relaxing areas of this magnificant hotel. Invest a little more in the very best way to network!
  4. Even though the tickets are paid (for outsiders) > please contact the speakers and exhibitors to get your complimentary passes from them (you should already do business with them).
  5. This is a pure 100% Business-Only event - all attendees and speakers cover their own travel and accomondation costs.

We look forward to welcoming you to Villa Rosa Kempinski Nairobi for Domain Summit Africa 2026!
