Building The Future
Of African Tech

The ecosystem is
right here.
East Africa is not waiting to catch up. It's building — in React, in the cloud, and on mobile. RenderCon is the annual moment where that building becomes visible.
Mobile-First Innovation
Developers here build for users who skipped desktop entirely. React Native is not a supplement — it's a primary platform.
Startup Velocity
Nairobi is Africa's Silicon Savannah. Kampala, Kigali, Addis — a new generation of startups is shipping React-powered products daily.
Growing Developer Talent
Universities and bootcamps across the region are producing world-class engineers. The talent pool is deeper than most people realize.
Regional Opportunity
A region of 400M+ people with rising internet penetration and digital adoption. The next wave of internet users is here.
Sessions for every
stage of the journey
Whether you're writing your first component or scaling a React app to millions — there's a track built for you.
React
Deep dives into React internals, patterns, and the latest ecosystem updates from the core team.
React Native
Building cross-platform mobile apps for the billion users on Android and iOS across Africa.
Frontend Engineering
Web performance, accessibility, design systems, and the craft of building great UIs.
AI & Web
Integrating AI into your React apps — from LLM-powered UIs to intelligent user experiences.
Community
Open source, mentorship, building developer communities, and growing the next generation of engineers.
Career Growth
Leveling up your career — remote work, freelancing, interviews, and growing as a developer in Africa.
