building africas' digital future
Five days. Infinite possibilities.
DigiFest 2026 is Africa’s flagship virtual digital skills and innovation festival — five days of keynotes, masterclasses, and direct conversations with the people building the digital economy. All from wherever you are.
The Festival
One question. Five days to answer it.
"How can young people position themselves to thrive in Africa's rapidly evolving digital economy?"
That’s the question DigiFest 2026 was built to answer. As AI, automation, and digital platforms reshape how Africa works, learns, and builds, the gap isn’t opportunity — it’s access. Access to real skills, real mentors, and real pathways in.
DigiFest closes that gap. Over five days, ACWICT brings together youth, students, graduates, entrepreneurs, creators, technology leaders, employers, and policymakers from across Kenya and beyond — for one immersive week of keynotes, masterclasses, panels, career talks, and innovation showcases. Not a conference you watch. A festival you work through.
How It Works
Not a webinar. A working week.
Every session is built to move you from inspired to equipped to connected — inside one virtual platform, alongside thousands of others doing the same thing.
