Introducing

PinkTag Tech Summit | Africa

PinkTag Tech Summit | Africa is Echo Tech's flagship conference and networking platform for African tech innovators, entrepreneurs, students, and investors.

We bring together the people who are actually building the future — not with hype, but with real solutions, real connections, and real outcomes.

Our portfolio

Built, launched, and serving real people.

Care Doras

The trust-first care marketplace connecting households with vetted carers.

iKaya

South Africa's first AI-powered community governance platform for sectional title schemes.

Now, we are extending our mission to the tech innovation ecosystem.

The programme

Where your category fits. 8 Critical Vertices.

No two same-sector talks run concurrently. Delegates physically walk between stages. There is a 0–4 min travel time between the two key day-time summit locations. There are 10–15 min intervals between sessions. A sector sponsor owns the conversation across both days.

Artificial Intelligence

Beyond the hype: deployment, ethics, and the African use case.

FinTech

Payments, lending and the next layer of African financial infrastructure.

Sales Tech

Revenue operations, CRM intelligence and the tooling that turns pipeline into predictable growth.

PropTech

Housing, land, and the digitisation of African real estate.

LegalTech

Compliance, contracts and the practice of law re-imagined.

MarTech

Performance, brand and the African consumer at scale.

SaaS

Product-led growth from Cape Town, Lagos, Nairobi and beyond.

Future of Work

Distributed teams, AI co-workers and the African talent thesis.

What we offer

A live event. A digital platform. A purposeful brand.

Two days, one host city

Johannesburg, 10 & 11 February 2027. Workshops, main-stage talks and startup pitches by day, and the PinkTag Night Networking Festival by night — across the same host venues, end-to-end. Exact location announced by 1 July 2026.

PinkTag Connect

A free digital platform for year-round event scheduling, venue maps, QR check-ins, lead capture, and role-based portals — for attendees, sponsors, venues, speakers, media, exhibitors, ambassadors and admin.

A purposeful brand

Pink is the colour of innovation — the un-obvious answer, the signal before it's been sanitised into a brand deck. We pink-tag the African builders, ideas and rooms that deserve attention. If it's pink-tagged, it's worth your time.

Why PinkTag?

Because technology must serve life. The future is not cold code — it is warm, collaborative, and purposeful. We wear pink as a signal of resilience, care, and the belief that Africa's tech revolution should be grounded, inclusive, and built with mindfulness.

Our commitment

Outcomes, safety, and community — in that order.

Tangible outcomes

Deals signed, mentorships formed, jobs posted on PinkTag Connect.

Safety & compliance

Mandatory ID verification for attendees and POPIA-compliant data handling.

Community first

Free for end users; monetisation through sponsors, exhibitors, and commercial partnerships.
