About this event

Enlit Africa is the meeting place for Africa's power and water sectors, run by VUKA Group at the Cape Town International Convention Centre. For three days it puts the utilities and municipalities keeping the lights on, the industries buying power, the companies building and running infrastructure, and the projects and capital looking for each other under one roof, with a conference, an executive deal-making floor and a large expo.

Conference and executive floor

The main conference runs Day 1 and Day 2 keynotes plus the Strategise and Innovate programmes. Level 2, the executive floor, hosts the Project & Investment Network, project briefings and the invitation-only Utility CEO Forum.
