The Africa Beer, Spirits, Wine & Drinks (Africa BEVTECH) Summits & Expos are the continent’s premier trade shows and conferences dedicated to the business, technology and innovation of the beverage industry—bringing together stakeholders from across the beer, spirits, wine and non-alcoholic drinks sectors.

Held annually across Eastern, Western and Southern Africa, the events are strategically hosted in leading commercial hubs such as Nairobi, Kenya; Lagos, Nigeria; and Lusaka, Zambia—ensuring strong regional participation and pan-African reach - with additional countries - that are emerging as beverage production hubs - such as Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda and Ghana planned in the near future.

Africa BEVTECH Summits & Expos are designed as high-impact meeting points for the entire beverage value chain, connecting beverage manufacturers (breweries, distilleries, wineries, soft drink producers); ingredient and raw material suppliers; processing and packaging technology providers; distributors, retailers and hospitality operators; investors, policymakers and industry associations.

The events provide unique opportunities to explore market opportunities, discover new technologies, build partnerships and unlock growth across Africa’s rapidly evolving beverage sector.

Driven by urbanisation, rising incomes and changing consumer preferences—the Africa BEVTECH Summits & Expos serve as a catalyst for investment in beverage manufacturing and infrastructure; adoption of advanced processing and packaging technologies; development of local supply chains and raw material sourcing and the growth of African beverage brands in regional and global markets.

As part of the broader AFMASS Trade Expo gatherings, the Africa BEVTECH Summits & Expos enable attendees to build partnerships, expand markets and unlock growth into the broader food & beverage industry in the Continent.

The Africa BEVTECH Summits & Expos events are planned for the following countries and regions in Africa in 2026:
