AfroTech Conference 2026

AfroTech marks its tenth anniversary in Houston, bringing tens of thousands of Black technologists, founders, investors and recruiters to the George R. Brown Convention Center from Monday 2 to Friday 6 November.

The programme runs across 15 tracks on 11 stages, from AI and engineering to marketing, entrepreneurship, the future of work and health technology, with more than 300 speakers. An exhibit hall brings together employers, start-ups and vendors, and the week is known as much for hiring and networking as for its talks.

Passes range from a one-day virtual AI training ($97) and a four-day Premier pass ($625) to Executive, Medical and All Access tiers. The organisers say hotel room blocks are filling fast, so anyone travelling in should book soon.
