Start the business year with new connections in Africa’s domain name industry.
Domain Summit Africa 2027 brings African and international domain professionals together on 18–19 January in Diani Beach, Kenya. With Domains & AI as its central theme, the summit offers a focused setting to exchange experience, explore opportunities and build relationships with the people behind domain registration, hosting and related digital services.
The 2027 edition adopts a smaller, more selective format, with attendance limited to 60 participants. Direct introductions and time for meaningful conversations are central to the experience, giving attendees the opportunity to discuss their businesses, learn from peers and identify potential partners.
