eCommerce Africa Confex and Money Africa

The third annual eCommerce Africa Confex, produced by Kinetic, returns to Cape Town from 22 - 23 February 2017, and continues to grow into the industry’s largest event.

The next edition will have several new features including the Money Africa track which will focus on innovations in African FinTech products, from payments through to a plethora of financial and consumer services currently shaping the continent.

The eCommerce conference sessions will examine various aspects of development in the industry: how online and mobile retailers are capitalising on growth opportunities; how omni-channel retailers are moving into a digital space; where the consumer is driving their own experience; the realities and challenges of cross-border expansion; and overcoming fulfilment concerns and driving logistics in the real world.

Our expanded advisory board, speaker panel, and increased African and international participation is in line with the industry as it seeks to create a Pan-African identity - a homogenous network of connected industries to deliver a uniquely African online experience. eCommerce Africa 2017 will bring together industry thought-leaders who are pioneering change and development in the ecommerce sphere.

Introducing: Money Africa 2017

Money Africa 2017 will examine how your existing business should align itself with this junction of mobile, retail and financial services, marketing capabilities, customer data and peripheral technology. FinTech is disrupting the way ordinary Africans manage and use their money, challenging the traditional institutions perceive and respond to them.

The rise of telecom-driven financial services has left many banks and financial institutions chasing the market. FinTech products are creating a cashless society, facilitating borderless transactions, and encouraging frictionless peer-to- peer financing.

In East Africa alone, over $3 million worth of transactions are expected to take place through FinTech platforms every hour, every day. The future of financial services and payments is geared towards customer service, driving loyalty, creating new revenue streams and services, and banking the informal trading sector.

Money Africa 2017 is designed to evaluate the rapidly growing demands of a historically underserviced market as mobile infrastructure continues to uplift communities across the continent, applicable financing and payments finding their way to millions of new customers.
