RenderCon
More than a conference. A community shaping the future of React in East Africa.
RenderCon is East Africa's community-first React conference, bringing together developers, creators, founders, and technology leaders to learn, connect, and build.
Building the Future of African Tech
RenderCon exists because African developers deserve a world-class platform — not just to attend, but to lead, speak, connect, and shape what comes next.
Learn
World-class talks, workshops, and technical discussions led by engineers and builders from across the globe.
Connect
Meaningful relationships across the African tech ecosystem — developers, founders, and community builders.

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.

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.
