With our first conference in Africa starting tomorrow, today is a day for final plans and preparations for our demoing companies. FinovateAfrica 2018, which kicks off Tuesday morning and runs through Wednesday, will feature more than a dozen innovative fintech companies from Africa and beyond who will demonstrate their latest technologies live on stage before our audience of industry leaders and professionals.

And while our demoing companies are busy practicing their pitches, remember that FinovateAfrica is more than just live fintech demonstrations. Both days of the conference will feature keynotes, panel discussions, and presentations on some of the most pressing issues in fintech such as open banking and digital transformation. FinovateAfrica will also feature several sessions and tracks on topics like social payments and leveraging technology to serve rural communities that are especially relevant to developing economies.

FinovateAfrica will be held at the Westin Cape Town in Cape Town, South Africa. The venue is located at Convention Square on Lower Long Street, and is readily accessible by public transportation. The conference itself will take place on the Old Harbour Level, and begins promptly with registration, breakfast, and networking at 8:15am on both Tuesday and Wednesday.
