“Converge Africa 2025 was a standout event for us at Ecommerce Counsel. From insightful discussions on AI and digital marketing to meaningful connections with clients and partners, it offered a strategic platform to strengthen our presence in the South African e-commerce space. The VUKA team created an energising and seamless experience – we’re already looking forward to next year!”

Ecommerce Counsel

"As a company still building our presence at industry events, Converge Africa gave us the ideal platform to elevate our visibility and connect directly with the market. The level of engagement and interest we received confirmed that being part of this show is not just about exposure — it's about establishing credibility and staying close to the pulse of innovation in Africa's logistics and e-commerce space. We’ll definitely be back."

APEX

"We’ve attended Converge Africa for years, but sponsoring it this time truly took things to the next level. The exposure, the lead quality, and the sheer volume of meaningful conversations have been overwhelming — in the best way. It’s rare to find an event this well-organised, with such a high calibre of attendees and ideas. We walked away with valuable connections, insight into emerging tech, and no doubt that this was the right investment for us."
