African Peering and Interconnection Forum (AfPIF)

The African Peering and Interconnection Forum addresses the key interconnection, peering, and traffic exchange opportunities and challenges on the continent and provides participants with global and regional insights for maximising opportunities that will help grow Internet infrastructure and services in Africa.

The forum targets executives, Chief Technology Officers (CTOs), peering coordinators and business development managers from the African region, Internet service providers (ISPs) and operators, telecommunications policy-makers and regulators, content providers, Internet Exchange Point (IXP) operators, infrastructure providers, data center managers, National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) as well as carriers and transit providers. The forum is planned as a non-profit event, and international sponsorship and support have been sought to convene the event.

AfPIF 2024 will take place from 20 to 22 August 2024 in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
