The 14th edition of ASEC (Africa Security Symposium) will be held from 22-24 June 2027. A truly pan-African event, proudly in Co-operation with the African Union's Political Affairs, Peace, Security (PAPS) department, welcoming senior stakeholders from across regional Governments, ministries of Interior, Defence, and Police, the United Nations, INTERPOL, U.S. military, the EU, RECs, and major NGOs.
Exclusively attended by Ministers, investors, suppliers, and security leaders, ASEC provides a unique platform for high-level engagement, fostering collaboration to enhance stability and security across the continent. A key feature is our pre-scheduled, 1-2-1 matchmaking meetings, designed to build lasting partnerships and maximise value for all participants.
Over 350 delegates will engage in dynamic plenary sessions, targeted networking, cultural functions, and curated matchmaking meetings powered by our bespoke scheduling software.
Unlike traditional ‘talk shop’ conferences, ASEC drives action. Themed panels are crafted to encourage audience participation and spark actionable outcomes on Africa’s most urgent security challenges - from counterterrorism to peace operations and policing.
There is no such thing as an African problem alone - global challenges require global cooperation. ASEC offers a trusted, secure space for governments, industry, and development actors to unite around innovative solutions and shared goals.
Now in its 14th edition, ASEC continues to grow as the continent’s foremost platform for public-private security dialogue, showcasing new opportunities and catalysing impactful partnerships.
