Missing for six years from the inernational trade show calendar, Mediatech Africa returns in June 2026 at the Johannesburg Expo Centre (Nasrec) – 25 years since the first Mediatech Africa was held in 2001.
According to event the organiser, Mediatech Africa has been a cornerstone of the continent’s A/V and broadcast industry since day one. More than just an expo, it’s a space for the industry to connect, share ideas, and stay in step with the latest tech. Its legacy is built on collaboration, community, and innovation — drawing top brands, global suppliers, and the passionate people who keep the industry moving forward.
‘Our first show was in 2001 at the Sandton Convention Centre,’ recalls Mediatech co-owner, Simon Robinson. ‘It was small, focused mostly on broadcast. We never imagined our little show at the southern tip of Africa would become something the industry talks about globally. That’s what makes this return so exciting. This industry runs on real connections and shared experiences and, after everything the sector has been through, people are ready. Ready to catch up, do business, and get inspired again.
‘Our strength has always been our passionate and dedicated industry community,’ he continues. ‘Mediatech’s success isn’t measured merely by its size or scale, but by the invaluable connections and experiences it creates for the industry. We can’t wait to see everyone again and celebrate what makes this industry so special.’
