Resurgence Durban Conference 2026

Businesses seeking to grow their brands, access new markets and connect with investors from across the globe are invited to register as exhibitors for the reSURGEnce Durban Conference 2026, one of eThekwini Municipality’s flagship economic development initiatives.

Hosted by eThekwini Municipality in partnership with The New York Christian Times, the exhibition will take place from 26 to 27 October 2026 at the Durban Exhibition Centre under the theme “Decreasing Barriers by Increasing Access”.

Exhibitor registration is now officially open and closes on 31 August 2026.

Businesses can register at https://resurgenceconference.com/forms/ or visit www.resurgenceconference.com to download the exhibition application forms.

The conference will bring together entrepreneurs, investors, business leaders, government representatives and members of the African diaspora to unlock investment opportunities, strengthen trade partnerships and accelerate business growth across Africa and beyond.

The programme will focus on access to funding, government procurement opportunities, trade exchange, women’s entrepreneurship, business-to-business collaboration and global market access.

The exhibition presents businesses with an opportunity to showcase their products and services to local and international delegates, build strategic partnerships, generate quality business leads, participate in business-to-business engagements and position their brands before key decision-makers and potential investors.

Now in its third edition, the reSURGEnce Durban Conference continues to strengthen Durban’s position as a destination for investment, innovation and international collaboration.

The first two editions, held in 2024 and 2025, generated significant economic activity while creating meaningful opportunities for businesses to expand into new markets and establish valuable commercial networks.

Businesses are encouraged to submit their applications before the 31 August deadline to secure exhibition space and allow sufficient time for planning.
