What we’re about
AFRICA CONN3CT is a community built for real conversations at the intersection of Web3, finance and emerging technology.
What started as CAPE CONN3CT in Cape Town has grown into something bigger, a platform connecting founders, builders, investors, regulators and institutional voices across South Africa (and hopefully, beyond).
We host high-signal, low-fluff events focused on the real-world application of new technologies, from tokenisation and stablecoins to compliance, infrastructure and the evolving financial layer.
No hype. No egos. Just the right people in the room, talking about what actually matters.
Each event is curated and intentionally designed. We bring together voices from traditional finance, crypto-native platforms, regulators, technologists, and more, all with a focus on practical insights and strategic thinking.
If you care about where finance and tech are going and want to be part of the conversation without the noise, follow us for updates, event announcements, and to stay connected with what’s next.
If you’re looking for a genuine Web3 community, join us and get involved.

Who’s Building Africa’s Digital Financial Future? A look back at 2025. A look ahead to 2026 and beyond.
***
After our first successful event in Johannesburg, AFRICA CONN3CT is closing out the year with our final event of 2025 right here, at home in Cape Town - with an exclusive evening in partnership with Sumsub.
This is not another conference, it’s a curated gathering for those building Africa’s digital financial future, and for leaders in traditional finance who want to understand where things are heading and who’s leading the way.
If you’ve attended our events before, you’ll know that AFRICA CONN3CT creates spaces for meaningful conversation; direct, relevant and worth showing up for. We’ll reflect on what shifted in 2025, where momentum is building and what’s coming in 2026 and beyond.
You can expect practical insight, high-trust dialogue and the opportunity to network with decision-makers from across the financial landscape.
