Following the recent announcement of Mediatech Africaโs long-awaited return in 2026, organisers have confirmed an important venue and date change. After close consultation with key industry stakeholders, the expo will now take place at the at Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit and International Convention Centre in Midrand, Johannesburg from July 1-3, 2026.
Mediatech Africa is the continentโs largest and most established trade show dedicated to professional audiovisual, broadcast, media, and live event technology. The show brings together industry professionals, technology providers, creatives, and decision-makers for three days of hands-on demos, networking, and innovation. It serves as a platform for both global brands and regional players to connect, collaborate, and explore the future of the industry.
Previously scheduled at Johannesburg Expo Centre, the move to Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit and International Convention Centre was motivated by several strategic factors. Simon Robinson, Co-Owner of Mediatech Africa, shared his thoughts on the decision: โWeโre excited about moving Mediatech to Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit. The venue is not only impressive in its infrastructure, but itโs ideally positioned to welcome our local and international community. It also provides us with the flexibility to effectively highlight different technology sectors in dedicated spaces. This move reinforces our commitment to delivering an event that truly reflects the standards of our exhibitors and visitors.โ
Claire Robinson, Sales and Marketing Director at Mediatech Africa, commented on the overwhelming response: โSince announcing that Mediatech Africa is back, weโve been blown away by the enthusiasm and support from across the industry. From exhibitors confirming early interest to visitors reaching out from all corners of the continent, the excitement has reminded us just how strong and valued the Mediatech brand is โ and how much it has been missed since the global pandemic.โ
Mediatech Africa 2026 marks 25 years since its inception in 2001 โ celebrating a legacy of innovation, connection, and industry leadership.
Exhibition stand and sponsorship sales will be opening soon. For more information, please contact Claire Robinson at claire@mediatech.co.za or visit www.mediatech.co.za.
