Taking place 2-3 September at the Fairway Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort in Johannesburg, the conference will deliver an outstanding program of renowned speakers, panel discussions, networking receptions and a high-quality exhibition.
The GCCA Africa Cold Chain Conference brings together temperature-controlled logistics businesses from across the continent with supply chain partners, international experts, dynamic innovators and leading politicians. Speakers include Dr. Newton Matope (CEO of Cold Solutions Kenya and GCCA Africa Chairman), Brent Melvin (General Manger, RSA Logistics-Dubai), and Dr. John Deng Diar Diing (Executive Secretary of the Northern Corridor Transit and Transport Coordination Authority).
Adam Thocher, GCCA’s Senior Vice President Global Market Engagement said: “Recent years have seen the cold chain in Africa make great strides in expanding services and capacity, embracing the technological revolution, and creating new opportunities within the continent and far beyond. In the current global backdrop of major uncertainty and disruption for supply chains, it is vital for Africa’s food resilience, trade growth and economy that the momentum in temperature-controlled logistics is maintained. In 2026, the GCCA Africa Cold Chain Conference will examine the theme of ‘Progress, Priorities, and Partnerships’: from shifting trade corridors to the next leap in climate-smart infrastructure, discussions will explore complex challenges and practical solutions.”
