Solving Africa's
Connected Future
09 September 2026
ITW Africa, Nairobi, Kenya
The meeting place for Africa's internet
Community. Opportunity.
Diversity.
Africa's internet future is a puzzle with millions of moving parts – people, infrastructure, protocols, decisions.
No single player solves it alone.
For 14 years, Open Access has been where Africa's internet community stops competing for a moment and starts connecting.
Telecoms, cloud, internet exchanges, content delivery, data centres. Everyone talks to everyone here, on neutral ground. It started with one idea: bring a diverse community together to shape the internet in Africa. Fourteen editions later, that's still the whole point.
Africa's internet future is in your hands.
Neutral Ground.
Everyone talks to Everyone.
This year, we're bringing the Open Access experience to ITW Africa with an exclusive, invitation-only event that brings together industry leaders, network operators, cloud providers, and digital infrastructure experts for an evening of meaningful networking and conversation.
One evening. One room.
Be part of the conversation shaping Africa’s internet.
Join the people shaping Africa’s connected future for an evening of meaningful conversation and connection.
