Africa Food Show 2026 – a new edition of free talks and workshops for the food industry

This year’s Africa Food Show 2026 promises to be especially compelling with a new free-to-attend talks programme that will bring together Africa’s food and beverage community for three days of inspiring discussions, knowledge exchange, and collaboration. 

The programme will focus on the most important shifts currently shaping the food and beverage sector — from the geopolitical forces influencing food trade, to new geographies of growth, retail innovation, and the latest ingredient and flavour trends driving product development forward.

A programme focused on the industry’s key challenges

Among the featured sessions to look forward to are:

• Live Debate: Rethinking Ultra-Processed Foods 

  a candid cross-sector discussion with leading experts on the future of smarter and more responsible food processing,

• Digitalisation in FMCG Masterclass 

  a practical session dedicated to digitalisation in the FMCG sector, showing how to implement fit-for-purpose digital tools and strategies across the value chain,

• AI & The Future of Food Innovation 

  a session exploring how artificial intelligence is accelerating R&D, reshaping consumer insight, and opening new pathways across Africa’s fast-evolving food ecosystem.

A place for ideas, collaboration, and practical insight

Africa Food Show 2026 will offer a space for bold ideas, practical insights, and valuable business connections. Organizers promise conversations that will not only inspire, but also help participants better understand the changes taking place in the industry and prepare for emerging challenges and market opportunities.

It is an event for everyone who wants to stay close to the topics shaping the future of the food and beverage sector in Africa.

Access to the sessions is free of charge upon prior registration.
