Chefs, restaurateurs, hospitality professionals, students and industry leaders, it gives me great pleasure to invite you to the Gastronomy Africa Conference & Expo 2026, taking place on 19-20 October 2026 in Durban, South Africa.

We created this B2B event with a clear purpose: to bring together the gastronomy sector from across Africa to exchange ideas, address challenges, build partnerships and unlock new avenues for growth.

Whether you are seeking fresh culinary inspiration, practical business insights, innovative products and services, meaningful industry connections, or ways to position your business or career within Africa’s growing gastronomy tourism economy, this conference is designed to deliver tangible value and actionable insights.

Most importantly, this is your chance to help shape a stronger, more connected and globally competitive African gastronomy sector.

I hope you will join us in Durban as we celebrate our people, our flavours and the future of African gastronomy.

Warm regards
