THE 3RD RCA AFRICA CONFERENCE IS MOVING TO 2028.
We are taking an extra year to build a bigger, sharper platform for Africa’s engineers, lawyers, insurers and financiers. Register your interest now and be first in line when the programme opens.
VENUE: Vredenheim Wine Estate, Stellenbosch
Africa, let’s get into the game
WHY 2028?
Built for the long game
Africa’s industrial future will not be built in a year, and neither is a conference worthy of it. Moving to 2028 gives our speakers, partners and delegates the time to bring stronger case studies, deeper debate and a wider cross-sector audience into the room.
By 2050, Africa needs to be energy secure and industrialised, positively affecting the lives of 2.5 billion people on the continent. One leak, one spark, one headline can derail a generation of infrastructure investment. That is why this conversation matters, and why we want to get it right.

Vredenheim Wine Estate, Stellenbosch

WHAT TO EXPECT IN 2028
After a successful 2026, the 3rd RCA Africa Conference returns to Vredenheim Wine Estate, Stellenbosch, in 2028 – built on a community that has now proven the demand.
It remains the only African platform uniting engineering, law, insurance, and finance through the lens of materials engineering, confronting the cost of premature asset failure and building local capital of expertise to close it.
