Date: 30 September - 1 October 2026

Location: Sandton Convention Centre, Johannesburg

Description: The Sustainability & ESG Africa Conference & Expo 2026, taking place 30 September – 1 October 2026 at the Sandton Convention Centre, Johannesburg, is Africa’s leading executive platform dedicated to the business and economics of sustainability.

In 2026, the sustainability conversation has fundamentally shifted. No longer driven by compliance, reporting frameworks, or reputational positioning, sustainability is now judged by its ability to drive profitability, resilience, capital access, and long-term enterprise value.

African organisations are being forced to answer a far more direct question:

Does sustainability make business sense?

Sustainability & ESG Africa 2026 exists to answer that question—practically, commercially, and credibly.

Because sustainability is no longer a parallel agenda, it is the economics of modern business.

Location: Western Cape, South Africa

Description: The high energy density of Lithium-ion battery systems stands as a cornerstone in contemporary portable and stationary electrical energy storage. This paradigm shift demands a fresh set of skills and a multidisciplinary approach in engineering and science, ushering in concepts like thermal runaway and propagating circuit board failures. Balancing these challenges, the safety, reliability, usability, and cost-effectiveness of lithium-ion battery systems emerge as pivotal factors, rendering this technology not only viable but also low-risk.

In South Africa, the adoption of lithium-ion technology is gaining momentum on both residential and commercial fronts. The nation’s proactive stance positions it to lead the charge in advancing this technology throughout the African continent.

Description: The 24th edition of Africa Down Under (ADU) will be held 2-4 September 2026 at the Pan Pacific, Perth. ADU will proceed in its traditional format in Perth with live presentations, face-to-face meetings and networking.

ADU is the leading forum for Australian- African business and government relations and was first launched to raise awareness of Australia’s interests in African mining and energy. The three-day meeting has evolved to become the largest African-focused mining event held outside the continent itself which is reflected by the number of high-profile participants who attend each year.

Since its inaugural conference in 2003, ADU has showcased many success stories about Australian companies and organisations working across Africa. ADU is a must attend event for those with projects in Africa and for people and companies interested in investing or doing business in Africa.

In addition to creating a melting pot for pro Africa-Australia relations, ADU forms the principal pillar of “Africa Week”, Australia’s week long celebration of the strong and growing business, social and cultural ties between Australia and the entire African continent. “Africa Week” comprises a full week of satellite events on research, education, infrastructure, sustainable development, capacity building, energy, movies and the arts.

Join ADU on 2-4 September 2026, when Perth once again asserts its position as a global capital for African mining, as well as the driving force of African-Australian relations.
