Two days for the people who carry security risk in Sub-Saharan Africa: chief security officers, heads of security and safety, risk and resilience leads, law enforcement and defence, and the consultants and integrators who serve them.

Propose a session

SASCON 2027 is built from what practitioners have actually done. If you have run an operation, recovered from an incident, or built something that worked, the programme committee wants to hear about it.

Case-study clinics are restricted to in-house practitioners, which keeps vendors off the main stage and keeps the content honest.

Learn from practitioners

Case-study clinics are restricted to in-house practitioners. That keeps vendors off the main stage and keeps the content honest.

Sponsor and exhibit

SASCON brings together the security leaders who set budgets and specify systems across Sub-Saharan Africa. Ten sponsorship and exhibition packages are published in full, with what each includes and what it does not.

Every sponsor of SASCON 2027 is named here in text, with a link, permanently.

Fifth edition

A conference that moves with the region

SASCON is hosted by a different ASIS chapter each year, which is what keeps it a regional conference rather than a national one.
