ACIS 2026 opens doors for delegates, exhibitors and global business connections

The Africa Commerce & Industry Summit 2026 (ACIS 2026) takes place in Nairobi from October 14 to 16, 2026, at Uhuru Gardens. This event brings together businesses, investors, governments, chambers of commerce, and international trade leaders for three days of networking, business opportunities, and global connections.

Delegates can register for free to attend plenary sessions, thematic discussions, networking activities, B2B meetings, and other events designed to connect them with the African business ecosystem. Over 5,000 delegates from more than 50 countries are expected to participate, making delegate involvement a key element of the summit.

Exhibitors have the option to display their businesses for a fee, separate from the free delegate registration. Standard booths include basic equipment like one table, two chairs, spotlights, power outlets, waste bins, and name panels. Smaller businesses can secure an MSME table for USD 400. Larger spaces are available for machinery, equipment, and collective showcases, such as county, government, and country pavilions.

ACIS 2026 extends the business conversation beyond Kenya, with participation from over 50 countries. The summit offers investor forums, investment roundtables, project showcases, and B2B matchmaking to facilitate cross-border trade and regional partnerships. Businesses can explore opportunities in African markets and engage with companies and institutions from different regions.

Companies interested in exhibition space are advised to secure their packages early, as a 50% deposit is required at booking, with the remainder due by October 2026. Full payment is required if bookings are made after that date. Both delegates and exhibitors have the chance to connect with Africa and the world at ACIS 2026.
