HOSTEX 2026 | Africa’s Food, Drink and Hospitality Expo
For four incredible decades Hostex has been Africa’s leading food, drink and hospitality expo, the meeting place for industry professionals shaping the industry.
Hostex 2026, taking place from 8–10 March at the Sandton Convention Centre, where Africa’s food, drink and hospitality community will come together for three days of business, ideas and connection. Taking place only once every two years, Hostex is the moment when the industry reconnects – to source solutions, share insight and explore what’s next. The 2026 edition also marks 40 years of Hostex opening doors for the sector, bringing added momentum to a programme designed to reflect both where hospitality is now, and where it’s heading.
Hostex is about bringing the industry together in a way that’s practical, welcoming and genuinely useful. Spread across two busy halls and six dedicated districts – Equipment Africa, Food & Drink Africa, Tea & Coffee Africa, Contract Furnishings Africa, Technology Africa and Sustainability Africa – Hostex 2026 combines on-floor innovation with live content designed to keep visitors engaged throughout the day. There will be live competitions, demonstrations and free-to-attend content. We encourage visitors to block off the dates and give themselves time to experience the full show. This is a once-every-two-year opportunity, and the next Hostex will only be back in 2028.
