About Africa DevOps Summit 2026 (3.0)

Africa DevOps Summit 2026 · Nairobi, Kenya · In-Person

Africa Ascends: Build What's Next

Where Africa's engineers across DevOps, AI, and Security stop following the global roadmap and start writing it.

For too long, Africa's engineering community has been handed frameworks designed elsewhere — conference agendas that treat the continent as an afterthought and architectures built for constraints that don't exist here.

ADS2026 exists to end that story.

The work happening in Nairobi, Lagos, Accra, Kigali, Cape Town, and Cairo is not a smaller version of problems solved elsewhere. It is harder, more complex, and more consequential. And the engineers solving it deserve a stage built for them.

Africa DevOps Summit 2026 is that stage.

What Is ADS2026?

Africa DevOps Summit is the continent's premier two-day gathering for engineers, platform builders, AI practitioners, and security professionals. Two days of deep technical content, hands-on workshops, and a community of engineers from across Africa all in one room in Nairobi.

Three disciplines. One summit.

DevOps & Platform Engineering: CI/CD pipelines, cloud-native infrastructure, SRE, and platform engineering built for Africa's unique constraints
Artificial Intelligence & MLOps: AI deployment, LLMOps, edge AI, and machine learning infrastructure in real African market conditions
Security & DevSecOps: Cloud security, threat modelling, compliance automation, and DevSecOps practices for Africa's growing digital economy

What to Expect

World-class technical talks from engineers solving real problems at scale — no buzzword keynotes, no vendor pitches disguised as content
Hands-on workshops and labs across all three tracks, bring your laptop, leave with working knowledge
A pan-African engineering network: connect with engineers from across the continent whose work and context you will actually recognize
Career and hiring opportunities: meet companies actively building and hiring across Africa's tech ecosystem

Who Should Attend

This summit was built for every engineer on the continent, not just the senior architect or the CTO, but the junior engineer in their first role, the student finishing their degree, the startup founder, and the platform lead managing infrastructure at scale.

If you build, secure, or deploy technology in Africa, this event was built for you.
